The Ixia LM10GE500F1B is a single-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet load module engineered for wire-speed traffic generation, advanced analysis, and bit error rate testing in network validation environments. This third-generation 10GE module integrates into Ixia chassis platforms and delivers IPv4 and IPv6 traffic generation with routing protocol emulation capabilities.
## Technical Specifications
• **Interface:** 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GE) using 10GBASE standard over XAUI
• **Port Count:** 1
• **Connector Type:** Fujitsu MicroGiGa (XAUI)
• **Testing Functions:** Ethernet traffic generation and Bit Error Rate Testing (BERT)
## Key Features
• Wire-speed IPv4 and IPv6 traffic generation
• Advanced traffic analysis and reporting
• IPv4 and IPv6 routing protocol emulation
• Bit Error Rate Testing for signal integrity verification
• XAUI break-out capability with SMA connectors via optional break-out box
• Front panel loopback connector for local testing
## Typical Applications
• Network infrastructure validation and stress testing
• Application performance analysis under sustained 10GE loads
• Security device throughput and latency characterization
• Protocol compliance and routing behavior verification
• Signal integrity assessment via BERT analysis
## Compatibility & Integration
The LM10GE500F1B operates in both IxN2X and Ixia native modes and integrates with XGS12-SD, XG12, and XM2-02 desktop chassis platforms. Connection options include standard XAUI cables (20-inch CAB10GE500S1 and 40-inch CAB10GE500S2 variants) and the BOB10GE500 break-out box for SMA-based test setups. The module employs the Fujitsu MicroGiGa connector standard with dedicated loopback connectors for validation workflows.
