Spirent SX Data Link Simulators

The Spirent SX Data Link Simulators create the same delay and error characteristics caused by long distance terrestrial and satellite data links. By providing very realistic simulations of actual network conditions, they allow engineers to stress test new equipment and network applications under repeatable and controllable conditions. Utilising dual-channel, full-duplex operation, these simulators provide bi-directional testing with programmable delays, random bit errors and burst errors. Multiple delay and error events can be programmed into complex sequences to simulate a wide variety of chronic and periodic conditions or events such as peak traffic times and equipment overloads. Typical simulator applications include testing the operation, performance and reliability of multiplexers, bridges, encrypters, network applications and other communications hardware and software. When used for link simulation, these simulators physically connect directly between two pieces of equipment to replace conventional data links such as satellite connections, WANs or telephone networks. They can also be used in line with a real data link to add additional delays or errors or to simulate the effects of adding an additional link to the system
