Anritsu Network Master Pro MT1040A with OpenZR+ support

Click2Contact

The Anritsu MT1040A is a B5 size 400G handheld tester with good expandability and operability. It is a touch panel-operated field measurement instrument equipped with a 9″ screen that is small enough to carry with a single hand, and supports a range of interfaces from 10M up to 400G. Anritsu has now released a 400G (QSFP-DD) multi-rate module (MU104014B) that supports the new interface standard OpenZR+.

This measurement solution supports tests for transitioning from high-cost networks using existing WDM1 systems to low-cost networks using OpenZR+ transceivers. Through this solution, the MT1040A helps reduce network construction and expansion costs. With good heat dissipation and cooling performance, the measurement module is able to prevent communication failures caused by the heat generated by OpenZR+ transceivers. This helps enable more accurate measurement of network performance.

OpenZR+ transceivers are inexpensive compared to the existing WDM systems. OpenZR+ also supports various network configurations and is suitable for the construction of data centre interconnects (DCI). Because OpenZR+ is capable of long-haul transmission, some OpenZR+ transceivers consume nearly 1.5 times as much power as the existing 400ZR transceivers and generate more heat. In order to measure an OpenZR+ transceiver accurately without failure, the measurement module needs to have a transceiver heat dissipation measure in place to suppress the heat generated by the transceiver. The measurement solution answers this need.
