DESCRIPTION:

The VIAVI ONT-600 100GE / OTU4 Test Solution is a modular optical transport verification and system validation platform engineered for development, interoperability testing, manufacturing validation, and deployment qualification of high-speed Ethernet and Optical Transport Network (OTN) infrastructures.

Designed around VIAVI CFP and CFP2 Test Modules, the ONT-600 ecosystem supports comprehensive validation of:

• 25GE
• 40GE
• 50GE
• 100GE
• OTU3
• OTU4
• ODUflex
• STL-256.4

across telecom, hyperscale, transport, optical module, and network equipment development environments.

The platform is engineered for:

• CFP/CFP2 transceiver validation
• Ethernet Layer 1–3 verification
• OTN protocol validation
• transport interoperability testing
• dynamic skew analysis
• FEC stress testing
• signal integrity analysis
• optical module development
• system verification testing (SVT)
• manufacturing validation

The ONT-600 100G solution incorporates dedicated:

• CFP test modules
• CFP2 test modules
• dual-port CFP2 modules
• advanced error analysis applications
• stress test applications
• OTN multiplexing environments

allowing engineers to perform deep protocol validation and root-cause analysis across emerging 100G optical transport technologies.

The CFP2 test architecture includes advanced error analysis capability designed to identify root causes of bit errors and interoperability failures during:

• transceiver development
• switch/router validation
• transport equipment verification
• photonic layer testing
• electronic signal integrity characterization

while significantly reducing validation time during product development cycles.

The dual-port CFP2 module configuration can generate up to:

• 1.2 Tbps real-time traffic

when fully configured within the ONT-612 mainframe architecture, enabling high-density system verification and large-scale transport validation workflows.

The ONT-600 ecosystem supports:

• Ethernet client mapping
• OTN wrapper/de-wrapper testing
• GFP-T/GFP-F mapping
• OTN multistage multiplexing
• OTN multi-channel testing
• dynamic skew variation
• FEC analysis
• transfer delay analysis
• service disruption testing

for comprehensive optical transport qualification and carrier-grade interoperability validation.

The platform additionally supports:

• CFP
• CFP2
• CFP4
• QSFP28

optical interfaces through native support and adapter-based expansion architectures.
