[1] The Xcellon-Multis load modules may not be placed into slots 1 and 12 of the XGS12-HS, XGS12-SD, and XGS12-HSL chassis. Please consult your factory sales representative for further information.

[2] Due to increased power consumption of single mode fiber QSFP-LR4 (40GBASE-LR4) optical transceivers, a maximum of three transceivers may installed in front face-plate ports numbered 10, 11, 12 on the load module at one time.

Key Features
  • Less cabling, power, cooling, total cost of ownership, rack space, licensing
  • More ports, bandwidth, flexibility, capability, horsepower
  • Reduces total cost of ownership with more ports in a single chassis; 320x10GE or 120x10GE, or 120x40GE ports with fan-out-enabled technology
  • A common and broad feature-set across multiple speeds; 10GE and 40GE
  • Grows with your needs by enabling testing of 40GE

Introducing the Evolution of Xcellon HSE Testing

As bandwidth requirements press the limits of networking devices, equipment manufacturers must keep pace by introducing even higher-density 10/40GE gear. Xcellon-Multis is Ixia’s next-generation architecture and test solution to satisfy a wide range of testing needs. As service providers and large enterprises implement this same equipment in their own networks, they must also test and verify performance and functionality prior to deployment.

Ixia’s Xcellon-Multis load module family comprises the industry’s highest-density 10GE and 40GE higher speed Ethernet (HSE) test equipment, providing more flexible test coverage at 320 10GE ports per chassis, with a dual-rate 40GE/10GE capability, all in a single-slot load module. Xcellon-Multis employs innovative 10GE fan-out technology, a new paradigm in Ethernet testing, to allow a higher-speed port to fan-out to several ports of a lower speed. This ultra-dense load module brings a higher return on investment by reducing overall costs associated with product licensing, space, power, and cooling.

The Xcellon-Multis Reduced load module offers industry-leading high-density, cost-effective, and flexible 10GE and 40GE capability for testing next-generation multi-terabit networks. Used in conjunction with Ixia applications, the user can quickly and accurately assess the performance and reliability of network solutions before they are deployed.
