GbE module cuts testing costs, extend battery life

Anritsu Corp. has unveiled the new Gigabit Ethernet module for CMA5000, which allows cost effective testing of complex converged Ethernet networks. The module is designed to meet today's test requirements with the ability to grow and solve tomorrows testing challenges.

With the new smaller light weight module design, the CMA5000 allows multiple modules in the small bay adapter. The design also allows for extended battery life due to the low power draw of the module. In addition, the module features an easy-to-use GUI, RFC 2544 master/slave functionality to ensure ease of use and accuracy, industry standard SFP optics.

The targeted test applications of the CMA5000 allow for quick and easy test setup to ensure proper commissioning and turn up of the network. The CMA5000 not only performs the required commissioning tests but automates the process through an auto search function which decreases test time but still provides the accuracy that is needed. In addition the powerful network troubleshooting features allow for efficient troubleshooting to decrease down time of the network.
