Worldwide Presence

Sales and service offices worldwide

Time to market is critical– Development and test cycle must get shorter

Time to market is critical– Development and test cycle must get shorter

Product/Test complexity is increasing– Testing becoming a burden/bottleneck of release cycle

Test standardization– Accuracy and repeatability more important

Test setup – Time consuming process prone to errors

Optimization of resources – Expensive equipment needs maximum utilization

Challenges with Test Management

Traditional Test Lab Environment

Labor-intense test set up

Prone to human error

Compromises test accuracy and repeatability

Inefficient use of lab equipment

Not positioned for automation

An estimated 70% of testing downtime is caused by wiring mistakes

Media Cross Connect Wire-Once Solution

Wire all infrastructure equipment to the MCC Configure physical connections using software commands

MCC Benefits

As companies try to do more with less – Test automation is becoming required practice

Cornerstone to Lab Automation

Connect the physical layer using software commandsPoint to point – uni- or bi directionalPoint to multi pointPort mirroring

Layer 1, Physical Layer Switch– Route media electronically

Provides programmable mappings– any-port to any-port, – wire-speed connectivity – non-blocking switching back plane

Port mappings can be made one-to-one or one-to-many Protocol independent - data rate specific 100% transparent with virtually no latency (<μs) Variety of chassis types and interface blades

OCC 96 Specifications

How it works: an optical beam is collimated and steered from an input array ("send" side) to an output array ("receive" side). Voltage signals to the piezoelectric elements control the pointing

Advantages of Beam-steering technology– Very clean optical path: with a very simple optical train, consisting of fiber

and two collimators, DirectLight is capable of very low loss (typ=0.4 dB) and extremely high optical performance

– High force, high stiffness drive train: with 100x the stiffness of typical 3D MEMS devices, the system is far less susceptible to shock, vibration, or other environmental disturbances

– High resolution positioning & control: provides the ability to sense and tune very accurately and allowing maximum power throughput
