思博伦发布的测试解决方案将满足企业、园区和数据中心网络对带宽的需求和限制



2016年1月6日– 全球测试与测量试行业的领导者思博伦通信（伦敦证交所上市代码：SPT）今天宣布了世界上第一种2.5G和5G BASE-T以太网测试解决方案。思博伦DX2 2.5G和5G BASE-T以太网测试解决方案是一种高密度16端口测试模块，可支持100M / 1G / 2.5G / 5G / 10G以太网接口的线速2至3层测试流量和分析。该系列模块建立在思博伦以太网测试解决方案的市场领先地位基础之上，以单插槽刀片的形式兼容思博伦N11U和N4U模块化机箱，以及思博伦的其它以太网和Wi- Fi产品。

San Jose, Calif. – January 06, 2016 – Spirent Communications Plc (LSE:SPT), an industry leader in test and measurement, today announced the world’s first 2.5G and 5G BASE-T Ethernet test solution. The Spirent DX2 2.5G and 5G BASE-T Ethernet test solution is a high-density 16-port test module supporting line rate Layer 2-3 test traffic and analysis for 100M / 1GbE / 2.5GbE / 5GbE / 10GbE interfaces. Building on Spirent’s market leadership in Ethernet testing solutions, this series of modules has single-slot blades compatible with Spirent N11U and N4U modular chassis and its other Ethernet and Wi-Fi products. 

思博伦DX2 BASE-T系列模块已经正式上市，它们使企业和服务商能够迅速、高效地部署可扩展的高容量解决方案。如采用紧凑型N4U机箱，密度可高达32个多速端口；而N11U机箱则高达192个端口，这些高密度平台支持可节省大量的电力、成本和空间。这些模块还能够实现全面的投资保护，包括满足不同测试需求和要求的多速配置。

Available immediately, the Spirent DX2 BASE-T series modules enable enterprise and service providers to quickly and efficiently deploy scalable high-capacity solutions. Supporting 32 multi-speed ports in a compact N4U or 192 ports in an N11U chassis, these high-density platforms deliver substantial savings in power, cost, and space. These modules provide comprehensive investment protection including several multi-speed configurations to address different testing needs and requirements.

Spirent is a member of the NBASE-T Alliance, an organization with a mission to build consensus around a standard for 2.5G and 5G BASE-T Ethernet. Working with key stakeholders, the consortium releases specifications that define 2.5 and 5 Gbps speeds at up to 100 meters using the large installed base of copper cabling in enterprise networks.

NBASE-T联盟主席Peter Jones指出：“随着业界开始发售802.11ac Wave 2接入点，企业客户将可以充分利用提高后的无线带宽，并在同一接入点上同时运行多个无线流。这将为客户带来巨大的价值。”

“As the industry begins the shipment of 802.11ac Wave 2 access points, Enterprise customers will now be ready to take advantage of the increase in wireless bandwidth and the ability to run several wireless streams simultaneously on the same access point,” said Peter Jones, Chairman of the NBASE-T Alliance.  “This will offer tremendous value to customers.”

据思博伦通信总经理Abhinesh Kasturi称:“接入点和交换机之间的1Gbps有线以太网连接已经不够用了。新型接入点需要更高的速度,比如利用现有超5类或者6类铜缆的2.5/5G,只有这样才能满足企业、园区和数据中心网络对带宽的需求。利用思博伦全新的多速100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10G以太网测试模块,对今天和未来的企业接入速度进行测试将变得比以往任何时间都更容易。”

According to Abhitesh Kastuar, general manager of Spirent Communications, “A 1Gbps wired Ethernet link between access points and switches is no longer adequate.  The new access points require higher speeds like 2.5/5G over existing Cat5e and Cat6 copper cable infrastructures in order to address bandwidth constraints in enterprise, campus, and data center networks. With Spirent’s new multi-speed 100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10G Ethernet test module, testing for today and tomorrow’s enterprise access speeds has never been easier.”
