Tektronix Introduces 80C10B Test Solution

By DE Editors

Tektronix, Inc. has announced new optical sampling oscilloscope modules for the Tektronix DSA8200 Digital Serial Analyzer Series that promise to lower the cost of high-performance optical transmitter development and standards compliance.

The 80C10B and 80C10B with Option F1 (80C10B F1) provide a complete testing solution for compliance verification of next-generation transmitter standards from 40GB/s to 100GB/s and beyond. The company also announced the 80C25GBE module for 100GB/s Ethernet (100GbE) manufacturing and compliance verification.

Driven by such demands as high-definition on-demand Internet Protocol television (IPTV), cloud computing and online gaming, the telecommunications and data communications industries are rapidly migrating to faster data rates with the emergence of 40GB/s and 100 GB/s Ethernet communications protocols. To realize this next migration up in performance, component, module and systems manufacturers need highly accurate and versatile test solutions that support all key optical and electrical standards.

The 80C10B module provides 80+ GHz optical bandwidth and signal fidelity for detailed characterization of 40GB/s and beyond.  With the Option F1, users gain filtering technology for specific industry standards.  The 80C10B and 80C10B F1 modules represent a cost- effective solution for design and compliance verification of new and emerging high-speed optical data communications, and telecommunications standards.

U.S. list price for the 80C10B optical sampling oscilloscope module starts at $71,700 MSRP. The 80C25GBE starts at $60,900 MSRP.
