Xena Test Modules

Xena Ethernet traffic generation modules are divided into 5 groups based on the SerDes speeds they support up to 800Gbps. There is also a 100Gbps network emulation called Chimera. All include extensive Physical Layer test capabilities. Xena test modules can be mounted in one of the Xena Chassis (link to chassis below).
