VIAVI TestCenter SPT-N4U Compact Chassis
The VIAVI TestCenter SPT-N4U is a compact 4RU, two-slot modular chassis for scalable 10G through 400G Ethernet testing, supporting up to 2.4 Tbps of test traffic and 96 Ethernet test ports.
- Compact, 19-inch rack-compatible 4RU chassis with two test-module slots
- Scales to 2.4 terabits of test traffic per second
- Supports up to 96 × 10G/25G, 48 × 50G, 24 × 40G/100G, 8 × 200G, or 4 × 400G Ethernet ports
- Supports up to 32 simultaneous users with IPv4- and IPv6-compatible administration
- Provides precision timing, native IEEE 1588v2 PTP support, automatic chassis synchronization, and touchscreen administration
*Compatibility note: The FX3-QSFP28-6 test module is not supported in this chassis
The VIAVI TestCenter SPT-N4U Compact Chassis provides high-density, modular Ethernet testing in a smaller form factor. Its two test-module slots support flexible configurations for validating routers, switches, data-center fabrics, and other high-performance network infrastructure.
Designed for laboratories where equipment may need to be relocated, the N4U combines scalable traffic generation with a compact 4RU design. It supports multiuser functional testing and can be connected with additional chassis when greater test density is required.
Precision timing and synchronization capabilities support dependable latency and jitter measurements across large-scale and multisite testing environments. Native IEEE 1588v2 Precision Time Protocol support and automatic chassis-to-chassis calibration help maintain accurate timing across synchronized systems.
The N4U also simplifies laboratory administration with intelligent power and fan control, faster startup and firmware upgrades, a built-in touchscreen for real-time system status, and browser-based TestCenter client downloads. Existing TestCenter interfaces and APIs remain consistent across the platform
