In-Line Analyzer for CMIS and Module Compliance Verification
Interoperability is key to ensuring a healthy OCP ecosystem with diversified connectivity supply chains, and the Common Management Interface Specification (CMIS) is the industry’s gold standard for stable links between systems and pluggables.
As new CMIS standards are developed and adopted, with a wide variety of SFF/CMIS specifications available, CMIS testing becomes increasingly complex, intricate, and time consuming. The MultiLane Nexus Analyzer is an inline CMIS/SFF analyzer, purpose-built to address this rising challenge. Designed with speed and simplicity at its core, Nexus is equipped with a suite of tools to streamline CMIS/SFF interoperability validation, ensuring a confident multivendor experience, and saving hundreds of engineering hours.
Features and Applications:
- High-speed traces optimized for 112Gbps per lane for OSFP, QSFP-DD, and QSFP form factors
- System and host port characterization: I2C and low-speed signals
- Ecosystem interoperability testing: I2C sniffer between host and module
- Automated register sweep validates multi-page CMIS implementation on module in minutes
- Voltage noise and in-rush current measurements for power integrity validation
- Platform for active modules with module state machine, data path state machine tests and module behavioral model validation tools
