Xena Test Modules
Xena Ethernet Traffic Test Modules
Comprehensive Verification Solutions from 10Mbps to 1.6Tbps
Test Modules Overview
Xena provides a full range of Ethernet traffic generation, analysis, and network emulation modules covering speeds from 10 Mbps up to 1.6 Tbps. Each module is designed for specific speed ranges and technical scenarios, supporting high-speed SerDes, PAM4/NRZ modulation, error injection, latency/jitter measurement, and more. When combined with Chimera for network emulation, these solutions become indispensable tools for R&D teams and test laboratories.
The Xena platform enables complete Ethernet performance testing from Layer 1 to Layer 3, covering protocol validation, performance benchmarking, and real-world impairment simulation.
