From lab idea to real customer deployment

This week we had a chance to validate our Smart SFP OTDR Slot Adapter in a live customer environment. The goal is simple - add fiber fault location capability without consuming slot in switch. With Slot Adapter, Smart SFP OTDR can operate together with transceiver in the same slot -…

On the way to Smart SFP 100G

To make something small, we start with something big. Right now, we’re actively working on Smart SFP for 100G, and our current setup uses Alveo FPGA PCIe card (2×100G). This platform allows us to validate the architecture, firmware, and data-path at full speed before shrinking everything down into the QSFP28…

Smart SFP with ERSPAN and Wireshark – powerful combo for packet analysis

Smart SFP with ERSPAN enables seamless packet mirroring, sending traffic to your favorite analysis tools like Wireshark in real time. - ERSPAN-based traffic replication- Works transparently with existing infrastructure- Instant visibility in Wireshark for troubleshooting & forensics Gain deep insights into network behavior without SPAN ports, taps, or downtime.

Any fiber. Any speed. One solution.

Single or dual, dark or light or CWDM, 1G or 400G — our Smart SFP OTDR works across all optical network types. To make choice fast and simple, we’ve created Fiber Monitoring Use Case document that guide you to the right setup.Ping us if you’d like to get it.

SFP + Raspberry Pi

We’re big fans of both SFP and Raspberry Pi — even more so when they come together.When SFP meets Raspberry Pi, good projects happen.

Happy New Year – 2026!

We're looking forward to another 365-day journey around the Sun. It's going to be exciting. Stay tuned!

Smart SFP OTDR – Now with 100 km Fiber Fault Detection

With the latest software upgrade, Smart SFP OTDR can now detect and locate fiber faults up to 100 km (62 miles).This enhancement extends the reach of fiber diagnostics for long-haul, metro and access networks — without external OTDR instruments.

Smart SFP for active monitoring using TWAMP

Just a few facts: Acts as Sender, Responder or both concurrently Hardware-accelerated for line-rate performance and sub-microsecond accuracy Supports multi-flow and multi-tenant operation Bring your own TWAMP – use the built-in or install your preferred implementation Low-footprint deployment – all you need is a free SFP slot

Loopback compatibility

Smart SFP Loopback is compatible with any Ethernet tester — install it at remote sites to simplify Service Activation Testing (Y.1564) and Benchmarking (RFC 2544).

Loopback modes

Two ways to install. Smart SFP Loopback supports in-line and out-of-line modes for Service Activation Testing (Y.1564, RFC 2544).
