Ixia LM10GE224M Multilayer 10 Gigabit LAN1

The Ixia LM10GE224M is a single-port, 10 Gigabit Ethernet load module purpose-built for multilayer network testing and validation across Layer 2 through Layer 7. Operating over 10GBASE-ER single-mode fiber at 1550 nm wavelength, this module delivers wire-speed traffic generation and advanced analysis capabilities within the OPTIXIA chassis ecosystem. The manufacturing-mode (-M) designation supports specialized testing applications with forced intrinsic latency compensation and mandatory CRC enforcement.
