Fibre Channel Network Emulators


Anue's Fibre Channel Network Emulators provide distance simulation for one, two and ten gigabit per second Fibre Channel signals. In addition to delay, these products allow controlled error injection for BER Testing and simulate frame dropping and loss of signal (LOS) conditions. The FC Emulators can be controlled by the user either locally using the front panel, or remotely via an Ethernet connection. The included software package allows remote control using either a Graphical User Interface, or through TCL scripts, which allow for easy automation of common tasks.

Anue's Fibre Channel Distance Simulation products can test the delay and impairments experienced by Fibre Channel traffic as it travels over long distances of optical fiber. Network Emulators are ideal for testing remote data storage, backup and recovery solutions in a lab environment.
Network Delay Emulator


A functional Anue System for distance simulation consists of a hardware platform and one or more software loads. Fibre Channel Network Emulators exist on both Anue's "H" Series and "M" Series Platforms. The "H" Series delays and impairs up to 10 Gbps traffic; the "M" Series handles one and two Gbps data rates. There are two different Fibre Channel software loads available: FC and FC10.

"M" Series Distance Simulation Hardware Platform


* Handles one and two Gbps at full line rate
* 1U uni-directional or 2U bi-directional Rackmount Chassis
* Includes SFP optics module(s) with LC connectors
* Up to 750 ms delay in each direction (at two Gbps data rates with "delay tripler")
* Holds up to four Software Loads
Network Delay Emulator


"H" Series Distance Simulation Hardware Platform


* Up to 10 Gbps
* Includes XFP and SFP Optical Transceivers
* 2U Rackmount Chassis
* Up to 800 ms delay in each direction (at 10 Gbps data rates with "delay doubler")
* Holds up to seven Software Loads

"FC" and "FC10" - Fibre Channel distance simulation and BER testing capabilities can also be combined with other Network Emulator capabilities on the same system.

These "Combo" Network Emulators make it easy to switch back and forth between different features, data rates and protocols.
