Target Applications

The M8050A helps engineers design and characterize chips, devices, transceiver modules, sub-components, boards, and systems. Quickly test serial I/O ports operating at data rates up to 120 GBd across the server, computing, data center, and communication industries. Combining the M8050A BERT with a Keysight UXR-Series 80 GHz oscilloscope gives you a full 1.6T receiver and transmitter test solution to assess your Ethernet systems.
