Put Your 400GE Product to Work Now!
400GE is undergoing rapid development to meet the growing bandwidth requirements of ever-evolving data networks. Core networking applications are increasing by a factor of 10 every 5 years. 400GE addresses the broad range of bandwidth requirements to support these key application areas such as cloud-scale data centers, Internet exchanges, co-location services, wireless infrastructure, service provider and operator networks, and video distribution infrastructure.

Ixia’s K400 CFP8-400GE load module will accelerate your development of IEEE 802.3bs-compliant 400GE networking systems. Giving development teams the options they need to create the networking technologies of the future, these load modules are available in two different models:
• Full feature and scale CFP8-400GE
• Reduced feature and scale CFP8-R400GE
Both models enable full line-rate traffic generation to transmit, receive, and capture functionality from 64B to 16,000B frame lengths. This facilitates stress testing, hardware/ASIC bring-up, optics and cable qualification, interoperability, and functional test and Layer 2/3 routing protocol emulation as required.
K400 CFP8-400GE: A full-featured model with 1-port, 2-slot, native CFP8 400GE load module designed for enterprise and data center switch and router testing.
K400 CFP8-R400GE: A reduced-featured model with 1-port, 2-slot, native CFP8 400GE load module designed for hardware, ASIC, cable/optics qualification, and interoperability testing. The CFP8-R400GE scales down the L2/3 feature set and L2/3 networking protocol scaling, while increasing affordability.
The CFP8-R400GE load module may be upgraded in the field to have a higher capacity L2/3 feature set and L2/3 networking protocol scaling performance through a purchasable upgrade option. This extends the reuse of the load module and improves the ROI.
K400 Key Features
