Engineer validating network equipment in a test lab

Lab Validation Services

Test Center

Validate optics, cabling, switches, and network designs before deployment with a documented, repeatable test process.

Test Coverage

Validation built around your deployment

SwitchInfra coordinates lab validation for transceivers, cabling, switching platforms, and complete network scenarios. Each request starts with the target product, host platform, topology, and acceptance criteria so the test reflects the intended deployment.

Optical TransceiversLink parameters, DOM/DDM, FEC, host recognition, and interoperability.
Cabling and InterconnectsInsertion loss, polarity, reach, breakout mapping, and physical fit.
Switching PlatformsPort profiles, throughput, latency, software behavior, and feature operation.
Network ScenariosLeaf-spine, DCI, campus, storage, and other deployment topologies.

How It Works

A documented test process from request to results

Scope, setup, observations, and deliverables are agreed before testing begins.

  1. 01

    Test Request

    Capture the product, host platform, topology, issue, and acceptance criteria.

  2. 02

    Design Test Strategy

    Define equipment, measurements, test cases, duration, and expected deliverables.

  3. 03

    Confirm Test Equipment

    Confirm sample availability, host devices, firmware, cabling, and supporting tools.

  4. 04

    Set Up the Scenario

    Build the agreed topology and configure ports, traffic, optics, and operating conditions.

  5. 05

    Test and Deliver

    Run the cases, record observations, and provide the agreed report, evidence, and exceptions.

Lab Capabilities

Choose the validation needed for your project

Test depth is matched to the procurement or deployment decision, from a focused compatibility check to a complete topology validation.

Performance Testing

Measure behavior against defined operating and traffic conditions.

  • Throughput and packet loss
  • Latency and traffic profiles
  • Optical and electrical measurements

Compatibility Testing

Confirm hardware and software interoperability on the target platform.

  • Host recognition and link-up
  • Firmware and OS behavior
  • DOM/DDM and parameter exposure

Reliability Testing

Observe stability under repeated operation or agreed environmental stress.

  • Repeated link and reboot cycles
  • Extended traffic observation
  • Temperature or load profiles

Solution Testing

Validate a multi-device topology and its operational workflow.

  • Topology and configuration checks
  • Failover and recovery scenarios
  • End-to-end application traffic

Remote Demonstration

Review setup and behavior with the engineering team before deployment.

  • Live setup walkthrough
  • Focused test-case demonstration
  • Recorded evidence when agreed

Test Deliverables

Evidence engineering and procurement teams can review

Results are organized around the agreed acceptance criteria, with exceptions and operating conditions recorded for follow-up.

Test scope and setupProducts, topology, software versions, cabling, and test conditions.
Results and observationsMeasurements, pass/fail criteria, operating notes, and exceptions.
Images or video evidenceScreenshots, setup photos, or recordings when included in the scope.
Follow-up recommendationsCompatibility cautions, configuration changes, or additional validation steps.

Start a Validation Request

Tell us what needs to be validated

Provide the product, target platform, topology, and decision criteria. The team will review feasibility and confirm the scope before any test work begins.

Remote review is the default starting point.
On-site testing is coordinated subject to scope and availability.
No test begins until scope and deliverables are confirmed.
