Anritsu Corporation announced the availability of its Network Master Pro MT1040A for 400G networks.

This battery-powered tester with directly mounted QFSP-DD optical modules has an installable 10M-to-100G interface for access, metro, mobile fronthaul/backhaul, and data-center transmission quality tests.

Anritsu previously launched its MT1000A tester supporting communication speeds up to 100 Gbps for networks and data centers.

Engineers can use the 400G Network Master Pro MT1040A portable tester for evaluating the communications quality of networks operating at speeds from 10 Mbps to 400 Gbps. Always-on Forward Error Correction (FEC) is a key technology for achieving 400G Ethernet speeds, Anritsu said.

Engineers can use MT1040A, which has built-in FEC analysis functions, for evaluating the communications quality of optical modules, such as QSFP-DD, and the performance of 400G devices.
