Datasheet

Overview

The VIAVI 800G FLEX DCO Module is an application module for the ONT-800 Optical Network Tester platform. It provides test and measurement capabilities used by manufacturers to design and validate pluggable digital coherent optical modules.

The module natively supports both 400G class CFP2 (DCO) and QSFP-DD 400ZR modules, with a power and thermal cooling environment rated for modules up to 32 W. Electrical adapters allow testing on prototype boards and ICs before module integration, so validation can start earlier in product development.

Protocol coverage includes 400GE and 200GE Ethernet (native and as OTN client), Ethernet breakout modes, FlexE over 100G, 200G and 400G PHY, and OTN FlexO, FOIC and OTUCn up to OTUC4/ODUC4. FEC validation, FEC error insertion and FEC stress testing for PAM-4 coded signals are supported.

The module can be combined with VIAVI MAP-300 optical products to provide photonic test alongside protocol test for coherent module R&D, system verification testing and production.
