The VeEX MPA-AC-4 is a pluggable test module for the MPA multi-platform analyzer chassis, designed to expand network testing capabilities across Ethernet, OTN, SDH/SONET, and Fibre Channel protocols. It operates within a 1U 19-inch rack-mountable system supporting up to six independent, simultaneously configurable modules. The MPA-AC-4 enables field technicians and network engineers to perform line-rate multi-stream testing, traffic generation and analysis, and physical layer characterization in production and laboratory environments.
