Extend and Simplify Your Multi-Rate Ethernet and Application Delivery Testing
High-Density 10G/1G/100M Multi-Rate Ethernet In One Load Module
Keysight's Novus-NP 10/1 family of load modules offers complete Layer 2–7 (L2-7) network and application testing in a single system.
Novus-NP combines the innovative Novus load module architecture with the unique NP (network processor) technology to create a high-density, scalable, and high-performance application traffic generation platform.
Capable of emulating up to 40G of application traffic and generating and analyzing wire-speed Layer 2–3 traffic on its 16 dual-PHY ports (SFP+ and 10GBase-T RJ45), Novus-NP is the efficient platform for creating ultra-high-density test environments for 10GE/1GE/100M Ethernet over copper and fiber. A single 12-slot chassis supports up to 192 10GE/1GE/100M test ports and can generate up to 480Gpbs of stateful traffic.
Novus-NP 10GE/1GE/100M load modules are available in two different models to match your requirements and budget:
- NOVUS-NP 10/1GE16DP: A full-featured 16-port, Dual-PHY (RJ45 and SFP+) 10GE/1GE/100M load module designed for high-density testing.
- NOVUS-NP 10/1GE8DP: A full-featured 8-port, Dual-PHY (RJ45 and SFP+) 10GE and 1GE load module designed for high-density application delivery and switch testing. To support evolving test needs, users can perform a software field-upgrade to a full 16-port NOVUS-NP 10/1G16DP load module.
