mBT5210 Multichannel 25G BERT_Stelight Instrument

01:

General Information

The Stelight Instrument mBT5210 is a high performance, easy to use, Single/Dual Lanes, cost- effective, 4x30 Gb/s Bit Error-Rate Tester (BERT) for current 100G TOSA/ROSA components R&D and manufacturing environments as well as field installations. It is fully features for characterizing crosstalk susceptibility, backplanes, and multi-lane serial data systems, and it is also a good tool for production testing of AOC and electro-optical modules.

The mBT5210 incorporates an internal reference clock, a pattern generator, clock recovery circuits, and a BER analyzer, in one compact module that provides both electrical and optical interfaces at data rates up to 30 Gb/s.

The mBT5210 PPRBS outputs optical NRZ waveform with bit rate within 9.953 ~ 30 Gb/s, with settable data pattern of 2⁷-1, 2⁹-1, 2¹⁵-1, 2²³-1, 2³¹-1, Square wave and a fixed 40-bit user-defined pattern. The BERT system is controlled by external computer via a USB port, with full software support, drivers and programming guide for automation.
