Xcellon-Multis® CXP 100/40/10GE Load Modules

Evolve Your Higher Speed Ethernet Testing

As bandwidth requirements press the limits of networking devices, equipment manufacturers must keep pace by introducing even higher density, 100/40/10GE switches and routers. Xcellon-Multis is Ixia’s next-generation architecture and test solution to satisfy high-density test needs. As service providers and large enterprises implement this same high-density network equipment in their own networks and data centers, they must also test and verify performance and functionality prior to deployment.

Ixia’s Xcellon-Multis load module family comprises the industry’s highest density 10G, 40G, and 100G higher speed Ethernet (HSE) test equipment, providing more flexible test coverage and 4x100GE, 12x40GE, or multi-rate 100GE/40GE/10GE, all in a single-slot load module. The Xcellon-Multis family of cards employs innovative fan-out technology, a new paradigm in Ethernet testing, to allow a higher speed port to fan-out to several ports of a lower speed. This ultra-dense load module brings a higher return on investment by reducing overall costs associated with product licensing, space, power, and cooling.
