Teledyne LeCroy Xena
Teledyne LeCroy Xena is a leader in Ethernet traffic generators, physical layer testing and network emulation. They are one of a handful of companies with solutions for testing the fastest Ethernet speeds (currently 800Gbps using 112G SerDes). Customers around the world rely on Xena solutions to test, debug and validate the performance and interoperability of new Ethernet devices and outperform their competitors. Acquired by Teledyne LeCroy in 2023, Xena is renowned for user-friendly solutions with the industry’s lowest TCO thanks to the Xena Value Pack’s generous software licensing policy.
Xena offers award-winning solutions for generating Ethernet traffic, physical layer testing and network emulation. Xena Ethernet Traffic Generators are a series of over 12 NICs and 2 chassis options with user-friendly software for conducting a wide range of test scenarios for all Ethernet speeds from 10Mbps up to 800Gbps. Xena also offers a dedicated network emulation NIC for impairing traffic with various forms of latency and jitter at wire-speed up to 100Gbps. All Xena Ethernet traffic generators and the network emulation NICs include powerful options for Physical Layer testing. Comprehensive software is bundled with all Xena solutions. XenaManager is a Windows PC client used for configuring and running traffic, there are standalone apps for running industry-standard RFC2544, 2889, 3918 & Y.1564 tests, plus comprehensive open-source automation and scripting options.

XenaManager is used to configure and generate streams of Ethernet traffic between Xena test equipment and Devices Under Test (DUTs) at all speeds up to 800Gbps, and analyze the results. It can also be used to add various forms of impairment up to 100Gbps when using the Chimera network emulator.
The user-friendly interface makes XenaManager an effective tool for performing a wide range of core test scenarios for semiconductor & Network Equipment Manufacturers (NEMs), network service providers, and hyperscalers.
- Wire-speed traffic generation and analysis
- High precision solution for chassis time synchronization
- Used for OWL measurements, synchronized traffic start and timestamping
- Can use any combination of NTP, PTP or RFC 868 TIME
- Legacy Xena testers can be retro-fitted with XenaTimeSynch (GPS requires factory refit)
- Compatible with Xena1564 (ITU-T Y.1564) test methodology
Odin might be the god of war in Nordic mythology, but in the world of Ethernet testing, Z10 Odin is a key part of Xena’s Ethernet Traffic Generator solution.
Odin can test Ethernet devices at 6 speeds up to 10Gbps – 10/100/1000M and 2.5/5/10G.
The Xena Traffic Generator platform includes Z100 Loki (NRZ testing 10G to 100G), Z400 Thor (NRZ testing 10 to 100G and PAM4 testing 50G to 400G), and Z800 Freya (10G NRZ to 800G PAM4) and in the future also 1.6 Terabits.
In Nordic mythology, Loki is the god of mischief. In the world of Ethernet testing, Z100 Loki is an important part of the Xena product line, which is Xena’s Ethernet Traffic Generation & Analysis (TGA) solution.
Z100 Loki supports testing of NRZ-based Ethernet at data rates of 10G / 25G / 40G / 50G / 100G.
In the Xena line we also have Z10 Odin (NRZ testing 10Mbps to 10G), Z400 Thor (NRZ testing 10 to 100G and PAM4 testing 50G to 400G), Z800 Freya (10G NRZ to 800G PAM4) and the Z1608 Edun (112G & 224G SerDes) which can generate up to 1.6Tbps.
AI, cloud computing, and hyperscalers are accelerating the demand for ultra-high-speed, low-latency connectivity, taking us past Gigabit Ethernet and into the era of Terabit Ethernet.
Teledyne LeCroy’s Terabit Ethernet solutions are engineered to help you take full advantage of this new technology cycle. The Xena Ethernet Test Platform gives developers of semiconductor, NEMs, and hyperscalers the solutions they need to validate next-gen silicon, network devices, and interconnects with confidence.
From Layer 1 signal integrity and Layer 2 traffic generation and analysis, we have the solutions you need to simulate, stress, and certify real-world performance. Support for 224Gbps electrical lanes, advanced FEC, and PCS diagnostics ensure readiness for tomorrow’s networks. Compact, desktop-friendly hardware combined with intuitive software and powerful automation ensure seamless lab-to-production workflows.
Whether you’re path-finding 1.6T or optimizing 800G deployments, Xena can fast-track your innovation cycle. Test smarter, deploy faster and reap the rewards.
Most of us know Z400 as the Nordic god of thunder and lightning. But in the world of Ethernet testing world, Thor plays a starring role in Xena’s Ethernet Traffic Generation solutions.
Thor boasts some truly heroic features – like being able to test both NRZ and PAM4 speeds. For NRZ based Ethernet at data rates of 10G / 25G / 40G / 50G and 100G. And for PAM4 based Ethernet at data rates of 50G / 100G / 200G / 400G. It can also test Auto-Negotiation and Link Training (AN/LT).
In the Xena line we also have Z10 Odin (NRZ testing 10Mbps to 10G), Z100 Loki (NRZ testing 10G to 100G), and Z800 Freya (10G PAM4 to 800G PAM4) and in the future also 1.6 Terabits.
Z800 Freya is the fastest of our high-speed Ethernet traffic generators. Named after the Nordic god of fertility, Z800 Freya supports testing of seven Ethernet speeds: 800GE, 400GE, 200GE, 100GE, 50GE, 40GE, 25GE and 10GE.
