Bias-Free Language

The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Get the network performance you need with ultra-low latency and jitter.

Product overview

The Cisco® Provider Connectivity Assurance Sensor F25 (formerly Accedian Skylight Flex 25 Performance Element) is a next-generation, multiport, 25 Gigabit Ethernet platform that delivers the same ultra-low-latency packet forwarding and jitter found in the rest of the Cisco Provider Connectivity Assurance Sensor portfolio.

Designed for high-bandwidth and high-availability applications that require granular service assurance, the Provider Connectivity Assurance Sensor F25 is optimized for scalable service delivery and high-precision, real-time performance monitoring. It is an ideal edge, aggregation, or External Network-to-Network Interface (ENNI) unit for demanding high-bandwidth wireless backhaul and fronthaul, SLA-backed business services, Ethernet wholesale, and dark fiber termination applications.

The Provider Connectivity Assurance Sensor F25 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 Assurance Sensors 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. Accelerated service rollouts and improved operational efficiency are enabled by the platform's actionable insights and machine learning capabilities.

The Provider Connectivity Assurance Sensor F25 interoperates with other Cisco Provider Connectivity Assurance Sensors to deliver a scalable end-to-end and core-to-edge performance-assured networking solution tailored to your applications.
