Key features

A wide variety of optical, electrical, and accessory modules support your

specific testing requirements.

Optical modules

Optical modules that support optical data rates from 155 Mb/s to

10 Gb/s to 40 Gb/s to 100 Gb/s to PAM4 for 50G/100G/200G/400G

for standards-mandated compliance testing

High optical sensitivity, low noise, and wide dynamic range of the

optical sampling modules allows accurate testing and

characterization of short-reach to long-haul optical communications

standards

Fully calibrated clock recovery solutions – no need to manually

calibrate for data pick-off losses

Calibrated extinction ratio measurements and variable correction

ER measurement ensure accuracy and repeatability
