The JDSU TESTPOINT TS-170 is a 17-slot modular chassis that delivers a scalable platform for multi-protocol test and measurement. Sixteen slots accommodate hot-swappable test modules, with slot 0 reserved for an optional Group Controller. The included N530-0134 dual-port module enables concurrent testing of two Gigabit Ethernet, two 100BASE-FX, or two 10/100/1000BASE-T applications, plus simultaneous two-port Gigabit Fiber Channel validation. The chassis supports web-browser control via Java plug-in or CLI using ASCII commands, delivering high port density in a single rackmount unit.
