Fiber Channel Delay Test

Accurate delay measurement is carried out using Optical Time Domain Reflectometers (OTDR), phase analyzers, and testers with group delay measurement functions, along with specialized software tools for modeling fiber parameters. Aukua Fibre Channel and Ethernet SAN Delay Emulators, also referred to as distance emulators or distance simulators, are used by our customers to precisely recreate the delay and impairments found in real-world Storage Area Networks (SAN). The only way to bring this real world realism into the testing lab is to add network. Temporal delays or latency in optical fiber refer to the time it takes for a light signal to travel a certain distance from the source to the receiver. Despite the high data transmission speed, the signal does not propagate instantly and requires time to cover the distance. [pdf]
