Smart SFP. Behind the scenes. Assembling.

QSFP/SFP OTDR Slot Adapter - a solution to monitor fibers with Smart SFP OTDR on 10G-100G links when there is no free slot in the Ethernet switch/router.

We recently added the ability to offload the timestamp insertion function to any 3rd party application running on our Smart SFP.It significantly improves accuracy. Here are test results from a simple testbed in our lab. This open source tool was used: https://github.com/nokia/twampy/blob/master/twampy.py

Please welcome our new product - Remote Test Unit (RTU).RTU is a base unit for building RFTS solutions. Its modular design allows to mix and match management interface: copper, optical, 3G/4G cellular (USB modem) and OTDR wavelength according to your needs any CWDM or 1650 nm. Such RFTS monitors fiber…

Most of Smart SFP features such as Y.1564 Traffic Generator/Analyzer, Packet capture (ERSPAN), Smart Loopback L2-L4, TWAMP can also be used in Out-of-line mode as well as In-line.

Just recently we successfully installed non-standard RFTS - with just 1 unit of Smart SFP OTDR our customer can monitor 4 optical fibers.

We wrap up the year with one more product - Smart SFP IP SLA Probe with GNSS receiver for easy to deploy nanoseconds delay/jitter measurements. Wishing you all happy 2025! Stay tuned.

Customer story. PON monitoring. Goal - to reduce the time of troubleshooting in the last mile of the PON network. The size of the network is more than 100 sites within a city, each site has more than 40+ PON lines. Solution - Smart SFP OTDR module is installed in…

Turn any switch into a mini RFTS (Remote Fiber Test System).
Just plug a few Smart SFP OTDRs into existing equipment.
Or build it from scratch based on a 5-port switch plus a few Smart SFP OTDRs.

In data transmission mode, Smart SFP OTDR can work with any BiDi SFP.Replace SFP on one side and get fiber fault monitoring capability.
