OptoBERT™ OPB-100G
4-Channel 32 Gbps Bit-Error-Rate Tester (BERT)
The OptoBERT™ OPB-100G is the industry’s most compact, cost-effective, easy-to-use 4-channel 32 Gbps electrical bit-error-ratio tester (BERT) for testing components, cables and systems in R&D and manufacturing environments. The OPB-BERT-100G incorporates four pattern generators, four BER analyzers, internal reference clocks, and clock recovery circuits in one compact module to simultaneously test four channels at data rates up to 32 Gb/s. The OPB-100G has input equalization algorithms to counteract signal degradation
through input cables.
An intuitive Graphical User Interface enables easy pointand-click operation. Software drivers are available for incorporating the OptoBERT into test automation suites using programs like LabVIEW.
BER test data from the OptoBERT are output directly to
a spreadsheet file without any programming.
