Network Performance Tester

The MP1590B Network Performance Tester is a measuring instrument capable of measuring IP networks up to 10 GbE using the Ethernet plug-in modules of the Anritsu MD1230A test system, as well as traditional functions including testing of PDH, DSn, SDH/SONET, and OTN equipment and jitter measurement, with only one box. A new EoS unit supports EoS measurement, virtual concatenation, and LCAS measurement to enable testing of next-generation SDH/SONET equipment. The traditional MP1590A plug-in units can also be used without changes. The MP1590B can perform some simultaneous applications -- such as SDH/SONET, OTN, EoS, jitter, and Ethernet measurement -- using combinations of plug-in units.
