Introduction
The Keysight M8050A BERT enables success in high-speed SerDes chips and device deployments of 800G/1.6T Ethernet, OIF-CEI-112G/224G, PCIe, USB 3.2/4, and other leading technologies by providing an unmatched combination of 120 GBd signaling with uncompromised signal integrity.
The Keysight M8050A high-performance bit error ratio tester (BERT) platform enables accurate characterization of high-speed digital receivers used in next generation data center networks and server interfaces with symbol rates up to 120 GBd.
The M8050A high-performance BERT is part of the Keysight M8000 Series of BER test solutions. It can be combined with other hardware and software of the M8000 Series including modules from the M8040A platform such as the M8045A, M8046A, and M8054A modules.
