VeEX Dual Port TX320s Multi-Service Hardware

The VeEX Dual Port TX320s Multi-Service Hardware option covers communication technologies for 1.5 Mbps to 11 Gbps: OTN, SONET/SDH, PDH/DSn, Carrier Ethernet, Fibre Channel and CPRI/OBSAI.

The device reduces the amount of space required for dual test port configuration on a single, factory-installed blade. This makes the second slot in the platform available for other test modules, such as a built-in, high-performance OTDR, along with other essential fibre-optical tools including fibre inspection scope, optical power meter, light source and visual fault locator. This set of capabilities enables technicians to validate from the physical fibre integrity all the way to the transport and applications.

The unit’s dual test ports can be operated independently or simultaneously including in-service, bidirectional monitoring at all test rates. Advanced CPRI technology test capabilities incorporate REC/BBU and RE/RRH emulation modes for rates ranging from 614.4 Mbps to 9.8 Gbps, as well as CPRI in-service, dual-port monitoring for uplink and downlink directions critical for troubleshooting interoperability or RF performance issues. These features complement the unit’s Ethernet SyncE and PTP features which are all critical for FTTA, DAS and related small-cell LTE deployments. An optional atomic clock, built-in GPS receiver, one-way-delay (asymmetry) and advanced wander and phase measurements ensure that all synchronisation problems are checked.
