Spirent SPT-N4U Compact Network Test Chassis

Overview

The Spirent SPT-N4U is a compact network test chassis designed for portable field testing and lab environments where relocation is required. It supports high-density test modules and scales to 2.4 terabits of cloud traffic per second, providing four times the traffic capacity of competing compact systems.

Key Features

• Scales to 2.4 terabits of cloud traffic per second — 4x the traffic capacity of nearest competitor
• Supports up to 24 40G ports, 96 10G ports, or 24 100G Ethernet ports per chassis
• Built-in 5-inch color touchscreen for real-time chassis status and administration
• Best-in-class timing precision (10x better than competitors) for accurate latency and jitter measurements
• Automatic calibration for chassis-to-chassis synchronization
• Built-in external timing receiver (ETR) capability with native IEEE 1588v2 (PTP) support
• 4x faster boot time and 3x faster firmware upgrades than previous systems
• Fully backward compatible with HyperMetrics and HyperMetrics Next test modules
• 400G Ethernet ready

Applications

• Portable field testing and troubleshooting
• Multi-user functional testing in lab environments
• Chassis chaining for higher density requirements
• Cloud and carrier-grade network performance validation
