5201M is a portable modular Ethernet test platform for developing and testing switches, routers, network cards, optical modules and network chips, as well as network maintenance. It supports L2/L3 traffic testing, protocol simulation, packet capture and RFC2544 benchmarks. The two-slot chassis accepts optional 8-port or 16-port 10G modules and 4-port 100G modules; rates and port combinations depend on the configuration.
Key features
- Portable two-slot chassis with modular expansion.
- Listed configurations cover 10 Mbps–100 Gbps, with 100% line-rate traffic generation.
- 2.5 ns timestamp resolution with real-time port and flow statistics.
- Event-filtered and triggered packet capture, protocol simulation and RFC2544 reports.
- Supports multiple users, chassis cascading, Tcl/Python automation and graphical agile testing.
- Client download through a web browser; test software has Chinese and English interfaces.

Additional information
Test modules, optical/electrical modules, synchronisation modules, patch cords, metrology and extended warranty services are selected as required; not all are standard items. The photograph shows an example fitted with 16-port test modules. Chassis and module weights are listed separately; their humidity conditions apply separately and the selected configuration must meet the applicable environmental requirements. Interface types, rates and port counts are confirmed for the selected test modules and optical/electrical interfaces. Price, lead time and delivery scope are subject to the configuration quotation.
