Keysight interconnect and network performance testers deliver ultra-high-speed traffic generation for validating the bandwidth, latency, and stability of copper and optical interconnects in AI clusters and data center networks. Available in 800GE and 1600GE models, these testers emulate realistic traffic profiles and congestion control protocols to characterize the performance of switches, cables, and accelerators in AI / ML environments, with detailed metrics from PHY and link-layer error correction algorithms. With 1.6T support in both benchtop and rack-mount form factors, these systems give network equipment developers and data center operators the insight needed to optimize interconnects for AI workload processing.
