JDSU offers ONT-600 Multi-Port Test Module

JDSU (NASDAQ: JDSU) (TSX: JDU) has unveiled the ONT-600 Multi-Port Test Module (MTM) that offers multi-protocol, multi-rate test and measurement support for the development of optical network elements designed to deliver Carrier Ethernet, Optical Transport Network (OTN), and 100-Gbps services.

The ONT-600 MTM's port density and feature set reduce capital expenditure and operating expense by eliminating the need to purchase, manage, and maintain multiple test sets, JDSU asserts.

System verification and production users in particular will benefit from the MTM, adds JDSU. The ONT-600 MTM enables up to four users to simultaneously and independently use one module. The ONT-600’s 12-module capacity enables the performance of up to 48 independent tests. Operationally, the MTM's high port density also enables users to reduce infrastructure and power consumption costs by providing a design that is 4X smaller and with 50% less power consumption than current test equipment, JDSU says.

As the name implies, the MTM pairs with JDSU’s newly announced ONT-600 platform. The ONT-600 is designed to maximize scalability and flexibility through the support of 1-Gbps to 100-Gbps technologies for all stages of the product development lifecycle, including research and design, system verification testing, and network element production testing.
