3.1.2. 10GBASE-R (Optical Fiber) 10GBASE-R is 10Gbps Ethernet connection that based on IEEE802.3ae. It uses fiber as transmission media with different specification of fiber, connector and transceiver. MCS-2160 uses two standards, 10GBASE-LR and 10GBASE-SR. 10GBASE-SR 10GBASE-SR ("Short Range") uses 64B/66B encoding and 850 nm wavelength lasers. It is designed to support short distances over deployed multi-mode fiber cabling, it has a range of between 26 meters (85 ft) and 82 meters (270 ft) depending on cable type.

Optical Fiber As mentioned above, there are Single-mode and Multi-mode optical fiber. Both of them can be used for NuStreams module’s fiber port. Fiber Connector Optical fiber connector contains two ends of fibers and can attach to SFP+ transceivers. There are two ports for one SFP+ transceiver: one fiber is for receiving and one fiber is for transmitting.

5.2. NuApps-2544-RM Designed for Xtramus Technologies XM-RM series module cards, NuApps-2544-RM is an application designed based on RFC 2544 for analyzing Ethernet switches, bridges, and routers, NuApps-2544-RM’s load-generating capabilities provide an effective way to evaluate DUT Throughput, Latency, Packet Loss, and Back to Back under different modes such as One-to-One, One-to-Many, and Many-to-One.
Page 28
Latency The time interval for store and forward devices. Back to Back Fixed length frames presented at a rate such that there is the minimum legal separation for a given medium between frames over a short to medium period of time, starting from an idle state. With its real-time display of the results and various customizable report formats that allow users to view the test data and organize them into an appropriate form for debug, report, and record.
5.3. NuApps-MultiUnits-RM NuApps-MultiUnits-RM is a utility software that displays up to 8 independent windows in 1 user interface, where each window can run different settings with an independent DUT (Device Under Test). The NuApps-MultiUnits-RM supports all XM-RM module cards and can reserve the XM-RM module card’s ports on each testing window, where the testing result of each window can be showed separately on a log file.
