This unit
The EXFO MAX-860G is a handheld Ethernet and transport network tester engineered for field installation, activation, and troubleshooting operations. This dual-core platform delivers testing across Ethernet speeds from 10 Mbps to 10.3 Gbps, transport protocols including DSn/PDH, SONET/SDH, and OTN interfaces, and advanced performance validation via RFC 2544 and EtherSAM (ITU-T Y.1564) standards. The device combines a multitouch 8-inch color display, Windows 10 operating system, 4 GB RAM, and 64 GB internal storage with dual SFP/SFP+ optical ports and one RJ45 copper Ethernet interface for simultaneous or independent testing up to 2 × 10 Gbps links.
