The Digital Lightwave NIC PLUS XXH42XXXXX is a portable network analyzer for testing high-speed telecommunications and datacomm networks across Ethernet, SONET/SDH, OTN, and optical transport protocols. The five-slot modular chassis supports up to 8 different physical interface protocols in a single unit, enabling field circuit testing, network turn-up, production automation, and laboratory analysis. Its 10.4-inch color touchscreen display and remote control capability via NIC GUI and VNC support distributed testing workflows.
