The Keysight UHD100T32 is a 1U rackmount test system purpose-built for validating 100 Gigabit Ethernet devices and networks in data center environments. It delivers 3.2 Tbps of Layer 2/3 traffic generation and analysis across 32 native QSFP28 ports, supporting line-rate performance at 100/50/40/25/10 GE with per-port and per-flow statistics. The system enables cost-effective testing at scale with a compact footprint that minimizes rack space and power consumption.
