EXFO ETS-1000G Ethernet Analyzer

The EXFO ETS-1000G Ethernet Analyzer is a portable field instrument for turn-up, validation, and troubleshooting of Carrier Ethernet services across 10 Mbit/s to 10 Gbit/s networks. Designed for field technicians, it delivers layer-aware testing from Layer 1 to Layer 4 with native support for VLAN, MPLS, and QoS configurations. The instrument performs RFC 2544 compliance testing, bit error rate analysis, multistream traffic generation, packet jitter measurement, and OAM diagnostics to validate SLA performance and network integrity. Note: This model has been discontinued by the manufacturer.
