XGS12-SD frame


Product Menu

  • Ixia is XGS12-SD by a modular frame that supports 12 slots and is an Ethernet test system that provides the industry's highest port density. This flexible platform provides the most comprehensive solution for the performance, function and conformance testing of network devices and network applications. Combining Ixia's industry-leading IxNetwork, IxLoad and IxExplorer test application software and automation API, the XGS12-SD frame is large-scale4-7layer testing provides the required performance.

  • XGS12-SD has a front-to-back airflow system to ensure that all Ixia's highest density load modules can operate efficiently. The modular structure maximizes the serviceability of the XGS12-SD. Each major system component supports field replacement. The fan module, power supply module and processor module are designed as structures that are easy to install and disassemble. All Ixia's XM load modules support hot plug to ensure a highly flexible and multi-user test environment. XGS12-SD XM board that supports Ixia provides seamless integration with the existing Ixia test system.

  • main advantages

  • Achieve extremely high 100GbE, 40GbE, and 10 GbE port densities in 11RU vertical rack space, reducing space requirements and simplifying management

  • high-performance architecture to speed up the initialization and execution of tests

  • high-speed backplane for resource aggregation on load modules

  • Implement user responsibility mode for all test module ports in a multi-user environment

  • easily maintain the field replaceable modular controller card (slot 0), fan module and power supply module for simple and quick field service

  • FUSION support: supports FUSION load modules and IxN2X application support and compatibility

Industry CertificationsThe chassis1 safety approvals are UL and CE. These certifications are only valid when the unit is operating as specified. See endnote 1 for more information.
Temperature[iii]Operating: 41°F to 104°F (5°C to 40°C)
Storage: 41°F to 122°F (5°C to 50°C)
HumidityOperating: 0% to 85%, non-condensing
Storage: 0% to 85%, non-condensing
NoiseThe XGS12-SD chassis running at maximum fan speed capacity may produce noise levels up to 87 dB(A). This is measured per the GR-63-CORE, Issue 1, and paragraph 5.6.3 specification. The use of appropriate ear protection is recommended to protect against hearing impairment. Consult local health and safety regulations for recommended maximum exposure levels for noise and ear protection devices.

Note: Fan speed is variable and adjusted based on present load and temperatures within the chassis.


[I]For a complete list of all Ixia load modules supported by the XGS12-SD chassis please refer to the Ixia Hardware and Reference guide document and the Product Compatibility Matrix that are available under the Support section of the prod.ixia.org website.

[ii]All three power cords must be plugged into their single phase 200-240VAC, 50Hz/60Hz power sources at the same time for correct operation of the chassis. The North American power cord has a NEMA L6-20P plug that goes to the power source and an IEC-60320-C19 receptacle that plugs into the XGS12-SD chassis. The power cord is rated to 16 Amperes. The plug and receptacle are rated for 20 Amperes. The XGS12-SD chassis is UL certified when using the 200-240VAC power cords supplied with the chassis. For international shipments power cords are provided for the target country and are included with the purchase of the chassis.

[iii]Some high density/high performance load modules may require a lower ambient air operating temperature. If this is the case, the operating temperature will be lowered for the chassis to what is specified for the load module datasheet.
