The EXFO FTB-2-88100NGE Multi-Service Power Blazer Test Module is a high-performance multiservice test platform engineered for Ethernet, OTN, SONET/SDH, Fibre Channel, and emerging packet synchronization protocols. Operating across data rates from 10 Mbps to 100 Gbps, this module integrates into EXFO’s FTB-2 Pro ecosystem to deliver wire-speed traffic generation, bit-error-rate testing, and protocol analysis in both laboratory and field deployments.
## Technical Specifications
• Ethernet: 10 Mbps to 100 Gbps
• OTN: OTU1 to OTU4 (standard and overclocked rates), OTU1e, OTU2e, OTU1f, OTU2f, OTU3, OTU3e1, OTU3e2
• SONET/SDH: OC-1/STM-0 to OC-768/STM-256
• Fibre Channel: 1x, 2x, 4x, 8x, 10x interfaces
• Packet Synchronization: SyncE/1588 PTP
• CPRI/OBSAI and eCPRI protocol support
• Transceiver interfaces: CFP, CFP2, CFP4, QSFP28, QSFP+, SFP+
## Key Features
• Dual-port 10G Ethernet with simultaneous traffic generation and analysis at 100% wire speed and independent error injection
• Stateful TCP throughput testing at wire speed per RFC 6349
• BERT capabilities across OTN, SONET/SDH, Fibre Channel, and Ethernet with real-time pass/fail status
• Traffic generation and monitoring: up to 16 streams with configurable Ethernet and IP QoS (VLAN ID, priority, stacking, ToS, DSCP), traffic shaping with burst and ramp modes
• iSAM service activation using ITU-T Y.1564 and RFC 6349; EtherSAM configuration and performance testing
• OTN and SONET/SDH overhead manipulation and monitoring
• Protocol analysis for OTN, Ethernet, and SONET/SDH
• Automated RFC 2544 test suites and 100G stress-test application
• Software-enabled scalability: 10 Mbps to 100 Gbps without hardware return or upgrade
• Test Function Virtualization (TFv) support: FTB Anywhere floating licenses and FTB OnDemand time-based licensing
## Typical Applications
Service validation, SLA enforcement, network performance characterization, carrier Ethernet deployment, multiprotocol network testing, and optical transport validation.
## Compatibility & Integration
Module operates within EXFO’s FTB-2 Pro platform architecture.
