Complete suite of bit analyzers for R&D and manufacturing up to 800G
The BA-4000 is a world-class series of 100G/800G electrical bit-error-rate (BER) testers. It is designed for the production line, quality control and R&D use from components to transceivers and cables.
The BA-4000-RCNC model has been specifically designed to enable the testing of linear-drive pluggable optics (LPO), a technology addressing the need of high bandwidth and low power interconnects required by AI/ML applications. The strong correlation between the BA-4000-RCNC test results and real switch performance reduces uncertainty, allowing manufacturers to qualify transceivers with confidence and efficiency.
Multiple use cases from R&D to validation and manufacturing
IC vendors/manufacturers
Excellent signal quality
Transceivers and cable manufacturers
Powerful equalizer and channel simulator designed for LPO testing
With LPO transceivers, no DSP is present to precondition or equalize the electrical signal, as is done in retimed optics. Therefore, any change in signal integrity on the host side is reflected onto the optical side and the more times the signal is handed off, the more potential for introduction of bit errors. Traditional transceiver testing techniques can’t pick up this signal degradation so new, more powerful testing techniques are required. The BA-4000-RCNC detects the presence of reflection, intersymbol interference (ISI) and FEC tail instability which are key performance indicators, capturing the presence of errors. Learn more.
