VeEx VePAL TX300/e network analyser

The VeEx VePAL TX300/e network analyser weighs less than 2.5 kg and is said to be the smallest full-featured 10 Gb next-generation network analyser available.

Versatile hardware and software options optimise configuration for transport applications at rates ranging from DS1/E1 to OC-192/STM-64 and/or Metro Ethernet testing options including 10GE, 1GE and 10/100/1000Base-T. Storage network testing options such as fibre channel can be added via a simple software option to Metro Ethernet configurations. A bright, touch panel 7″ TFT colour LCD enhances viewing and operation in any lighting conditions, while an intuitive graphical user interface simplifies menu navigation and accelerates test set-up.

An advanced low-power consumption design combined with a high-capacity li-ion battery pack provides up to 4 h of continuous operation when the unit is operating at the 10 Gb interface. Industry-standard, field-interchangeable XFPs and SFPs are supported, ensuring maximum wavelength and dynamic range flexibility.

Features include: OTN/SDH/PDH Ethernet/Fibre Channel (optional); optical SDH testing for 51 Mbps, 155 Mbps, 622 Mbps, 2.5 Gbps, 10 Gbps; OTN testing at 2.7 Gbps, 10.7 Gbps; optional 11.05 Gbps, 11.09 Gbps; PDH testing at E1, E2, E3 bit rates; DS1, DS3 and E4 (optional); dual E1, DS1, DS3 BERT; non-intrusive pulse mask analysis at E1, E3 and DS1, DS3 rates; optical power, electrical level and frequency measurements; concatenated payloads; path trace and pointer generation and analysis; automatic protection switching; round trip delay on all interfaces and payload mappings; transmit frequency offset to stress clock recovery circuits; overhead monitoring and byte decoding; tandem connection monitoring.
