Analyzer modules provide complete 40/100-Gbit/s test solution

A series of modules for DSA8200 digital-serial analyzers promises to reduce the cost of high-performance optical transmitter development and standards compliance. The 80C10B module is said to provide the industry’s most complete testing solution for compliance verification of next-generation transmitter standards from 40 to 100 Gbits/s (4X25G) and beyond, while the 80C25GBE module is aimed at 100-Gbit/s Ethernet manufacturing test and compliance verification.

The 80C10B module provides 80+-GHz optical bandwidth and signal fidelity, and Option F1 adds gain patented filtering technology for specific industry standards. With the option, it is a single-module test solution for all major optical standards, including OC-768/STM256, VSR2000 (ITU-T G.693), 40GBase-LR (future serial), OTU3, 4X10G LAN PHY, 100GBase-LR4, 100GBase-ER4, 100GBase-LR4 + FEC, and 100GBase-ER4 + FEC.

The 80C25GBE is focused on supporting manufacturing of 100GBase-LR4, 100GBase-LR4 + FEC, 100GBase-ER4, and 100GBase-ER4 + FEC. The module provides 65-GHz optical bandwidth for accurate unfiltered signal characterization. (80C10B, from $71,700; 80C25GBE, from $60,900 — available now.)
