TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Advanced timing test module for Synchronous Ethernet test applications.
The M2SFP+ is a wire-speed 2-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet test module. Based on Xena’s advanced architecture, the M2SFP+ is a proven solution for testing 10G Ethernet at Layers 2-3. It is available for both the 4U 12-slot XenaBay chassis and the robust transportable 1U XenaCompact chassis.
The M2SFP+ comes complete with Xena’s free XenaManager software - an easy-to-use GUI for handling both routine and advanced test schedules that includes XenaScripting, Xena2544, Xena1564 and RFC2889.

| SMA output | Selectable as either Tx Line Rate Reference (10 MHz, 2.048 MHz, or 156.25 MHz), a trigger output indicating Ethernet start of frame, slave mode pass-through (SMA output = SMA input), or as the Recovered Rx clock(s) 700mV, loaded 50 ohm |
| (*These advanced timing features are only supported for 1000BASE-X optical SFP transceivers.) | |
