Description
Overview
The Keysight N4960A is an affordable and compact Serial BERT controller designed for testing multiple channels at 25 to 32 Gb/s for 100 Gigabit Ethernet applications and other multi-channel high-data rate devices operating either synchronously or asynchronously. It integrates an N4960A clock/controller with compatible N4951A or N4951B pattern generator and N4952A error detector remote-mountable heads.
Key Features
- Available in 4 to 17 Gb/s or 5 to 32 Gb/s configurations
- Full data rate pattern generation and error detection
- Integrated clock source with jitter injection capability
- PRBS and user-definable test patterns with common telecom/datacom standards
- Remote heads place signal very close to device under test
- Remote control through USB or GPIB interfaces
- Compatible with N4951A/N4951B pattern generator and N4952A error detector heads
Applications
- Multi-channel testing for 100 Gigabit Ethernet at 25 Gb/s and 28 Gb/s (100GBase)
