Overview

The VIAVI ONT 800G FLEX XPM Module is an application module for the ONT-800 Optical Network Tester platform. It provides test and measurement capabilities for designing and validating 800G optical modules based on 100G electrical signaling (56Gbd PAM-4). The module supports OSFP 800G and QSFP-DD800 form factors.

The module covers 800G unframed BERT, 800G Ethernet according to IEEE 802.3df and the 800G Ethernet Technology Consortium (ETC) specification, and breakout configurations of 2 x 400GE, 8 x 100GE and 4 x 200GE. It also supports native QSFP-DD and SFP-DD, and 800ZR and 800ZR+ modules with power dissipation up to 35 W.

800G pluggable client modules

800G pluggable client modules increase bandwidth density for 25.6 Tbps and 51.2 Tbps class switches built on 100G SERDES silicon and stay interoperable with established 400GE interfaces. These modules come in QSFP-DD800 or OSFP 800G form factors. The module can test 800G QSFP-DD800 or OSFP 800G modules in this role, as well as standard 400G QSFP-DD or OSFP modules used in 100G SERDES based network elements.

Platform

The module installs in ONT-800 mainframes. All ONT application modules share the same GUI, automation and scripting environment, so the same tools can be used through R&D, system verification testing and manufacturing.
