Overview

The Cisco® Provider Connectivity Assurance Sensor F100 (formerly Accedian Skylight Flex 100 Performance Element) is a next-generation, multiport, 100 Gigabit Ethernet platform with ultra-low-latency packet forwarding and jitter.

Designed for high-bandwidth and high-availability applications requiring MEF-type service assurance, the Provider Connectivity Assurance Sensor F100 is optimized for scalable service delivery and high-precision, granular, real-time performance monitoring. It is an ideal edge, aggregation, or External Network-to-Network Interface (ENNI) unit for demanding high-bandwidth wireless backhaul, SLA-backed business services, Ethernet wholesale, and dark fiber termination applications.

The Assurance Sensor F100 provides all the tools to establish, validate, and monitor Layer 2 and Layer 3 services in a single unit. Zero-touch provisioning and IPv4/IPv6 management make these performance elements easy and secure to deploy and manage.

Fully integrated with the Cisco Provider Connectivity Assurance platform, it supports service delivery automation and scalable, real-time metrics collection and reporting—plus actionable insights delivery and machine learning for accelerated service rollout and improved operational efficiencies.

The Assurance Sensor F100 interoperates with other Provider Connectivity Assurance Sensors to deliver a scalable end-to-end and core-to-edge performance-assured networking solution tailored to your applications.
