Spirent Testcenter MX2-10G-Q2 8Port 10Gbe QSFP+
The chassis firmware version must be at least 4.45 or higher.
In addition, it is recommended to use a version no higher than 5.42.
| Item | Specification |
|---|---|
| Manufacturer | Spirent |
| Platform | Spirent TestCenter |
| Product Family | Spirent mX2 |
| Model | MX2-10G-Q2 |
| Interface Type | QSFP+ |
| Speed | 10GbE |
| Number of Ports | 8 ports of 10GbE |
| Physical Port Structure | Usually understood as 2 × QSFP+ ports, each broken out into 4 × 10G, giving a total of 8 × 10G ports |
| Main Use | Layer 2 / Layer 3 traffic generation and analysis, routing protocol emulation, high-density 10G Ethernet testing |
| 1GbE Support | This model is a 10G QSFP+ model, so it should not be considered a 10/1G dual-speed SFP+ module |
| Feature | Specification |
|---|---|
| Transmit Streams per Port | 64K |
| Stream Block Definitions per Port | 512 |
| Frame Templates per Port | 256 |
| VFD per Port | 256 VFD indexes |
| VFD per Stream | 6 |
| RIT Entries per Port | 8M entries |
| Frame Length | 58 to 16,383 bytes at 100% line rate |
| Short Frame Length | 33 to 57 bytes at sub-line rate |
| Frame Rate | From 1 frame per 3.43 seconds up to 102% line rate |
| Scheduler Modes | Port-based, Rate-based, Priority-based, Manual mode |
| Trackable Streams per Port | 128K |
| Capture Buffer | 256 MB per port |
| Latency Modes | LIFO, LILO, FIFO, FILO |
| Sampling Interval | 1 ms to 100 ms, up to 1000 samples |
Because the MX2-10G-Q2 is a QSFP+ based 10G module, it generally requires QSFP+ breakout optics or cables.
| Accessory | Description |
|---|---|
| ACC-6089A | QSFP+ dual-rate 40GBASE-SR4 / 4×10GBASE-SR, 850 nm multimode fiber |
| ACC-6090A | QSFP+ to 4×10GBASE-LR, single-mode fiber |
| ACC-6087A | QSFP+ to 4×SFP+ copper breakout cable, 3 m |
| ACC-6085A | QSFP+ to QSFP+ direct attach cable, 3 m |
The module supports 10G media such as:
However, 1000BASE-T support is listed only for SFP+ interface modules, so it is safer to assume that the MX2-10G-Q2 does not support 1G copper testing directly.
