Agilent/Keysight G800GE

The Keysight G800GE is a test system for validating 800 Gigabit Ethernet devices, optical transceivers, and networking equipment ports. It delivers comprehensive Layer 1 BERT and Layer 2 packet blast testing with deep focus on Forward Error Correction performance analysis. The system accelerates development cycles by identify and resolve issues in minutes rather than hours.
