N5980A 3.125 Gb/s Serial BERT

Data Sheets

Easy-to-use and cost efficient

The software user interface has one standard or one advanced screen to ensure intuitive use for operators. It makes the instrument easy to use and easy to learn.

Twice the measurement throughput

By using both the electrical and optical (SFP) interfaces concurrently, you can double your measurement throughput (electrical in/optical out and vice versa).

Automation made easy

The remote programmability of the user interface, using SCPI - syntax, makes it simple to integrate the N5980A into other programs.

PRBS, K28.5 pattern or clock generation and integrated clock data recovery

The N5980A can generate standard PRBS polynomials, K28.5 (‘Comma’) characters and different sub-rate clocks (/2 to /20). It can also inject errors with an adjustable error ratio. The receiver has a clock-data-recovery (CDR) built-in and differential inputs (SMA) for signals from 50 mVpp to 2 Vpp amplitude.

Standard (SFP) optical module plug-in

The instrument has a standard SFP- female connector. This enables all different kind of user-selectable optical modules (e.g for multi-mode/single-mode fiber at 850nm, 1310nm and 1550nm for the test set-up).

Small size

Its very small size allows the N5980A to fit on any bench and in any automated setup. The dimensions are, WxHxD, 228mm x 59mm x 246mm (Bench top dimensions.)
