MT1040A Network Test Solutions
The MT1040A supports various network interfaces, such as 10M to 400G Ethernet, OTN (OTU1 to OTU4), CPRI/OBSAI, etc. Recent network speed increases and diversification have increased the importance of on-site testing and network installation and maintenance. The test solutions supported by the MT1040A are introduced below.
400G Ethernet
400G Ethernet
Unlike previous Ethernet services, 400G uses the PAM4 and FEC technologies to provide high speed at low cost. The MT1040A transport measurement function supports various network interfaces, including 10M to 400G Ethernet, OTN (OTU1 to OTU4), CPRI/OBSAI, etc.
