Tektronix introduces 40- and 100-Gigabit Ethernet military test modules for optical transmitters

BEAVERTON, Ore., 24 March 2009. Tektronix Inc., a military test and measurement provider in Beaverton, Ore., is introducing optical sampling oscilloscope modules for the Tektronix DSA8200 digital signal analyzer series to reduce the cost of optical transmitter development and industry standards compliance.

The 80C10B and 80C10B with Option F1 (80C10B F1) provide testing for compliance verification of transmitter standards from 40 gigabits per second to 100 gigabits per second and beyond.

The 80C10B module provides 80 GHz optical bandwidth and signal fidelity for detailed characterization of 40 gigabits per second and beyond. With the Option F1, users gain filtering for 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.
