Exfo FTB-8510G Packet Blazer

The EXFO FTB-8510G Packet Blazer is a powerful Ethernet and IP network testing module designed to support up to 10 Gbps of traffic for verifying network performance and ensuring service reliability. Used in both lab and field environments, it provides deep insight into traffic flow, delay, jitter, and packet loss across Ethernet-based infrastructures. This module supports key performance verification protocols such as RFC 2544 and Y.1564, as well as dual-port testing, loopback, and traffic generation capabilities. Integrated into EXFO’s FTB platforms, it benefits from a flexible user interface and can be remotely controlled for automated testing scenarios. The FTB-8510G is particularly useful for service activation, SLA assurance, and Ethernet/IP troubleshooting across access, metro, and core networks. It includes protocol support for VLAN, MPLS, and IPv6, and delivers advanced features like real-time throughput monitoring and BER testing. Network operators and field engineers can rely on the Packet Blazer to validate service delivery, resolve issues quickly, and optimize performance, all while reducing operational complexity and downtime. Its compact size and high feature density make it a go-to solution for Ethernet/IP network validation and troubleshooting.
