400ZR Pluggable Modules Test

Coherent Pluggable for data center

Keysight LuxshareTech Joint Demo DesignCon 2022

Data Center Operators (DCOs) are moving towards 800GE to accelerate the upgrade cycle of switching silicon to derive power saving benefits and physical interconnect links need to scale to 112G PAM4 electrical signaling. This produces unique challenges in which all network points must be tested, including 800GE ports and 112G-per-lane interconnect. The collaboration for 800GE readiness testing in 1x400GE mode is comprised of Keysight G800GE FEC Aware and Compliance test system using the LuxshareTech 400GE QSFP112 DR4 optical transceiver. The need for higher rate pluggable optics modules is evident and Keysight supports the 800GE eco-system to validate implementations of high bandwidth interconnect, including OSFP, QSFP-DD, and QSFP form factor. In parallel, LuxshareTech will soon continue offering 800G/1.6T optics, which is based on integrated photonic platform with low power electronics.

Your Path to 1.6T

With the advent of 800G and 1.6T, data centers and network equipment developers must familiarize themselves with a new array of interfaces, form factors, standards, and testing requirements. This poster summarizes important characteristics of electrical and optical interfaces while providing an overview of key test & measurement considerations. Additionally, you'll find useful information regarding industry drivers, standards timelines, and Keysight solutions that serve the full 800G/1.6T development cycle from design to manufacturing.

Test TRX Module Interoperability

Keysight demonstrates the G800GE-02, which tests optical module interoperability and link quality determined by bit error ratio (BER), forward error correction (FEC), FEC margin, and frame loss ratio (FLR) with CMIS 5.0-based module status monitoring.

100G Serial FEC-Aware Conformance Testing

Reducing cost and power per transported bit, the 100G serial interface will become the workhorse for hyperscale data centers deploying 400GE today and 800GE in the future. For interoperability and conformance testing, predicting the forward error correction margin under realistic conditions requires the ability to quantify and understand error burst mechanisms. This demonstration shows such validation using Keysight's G800GE, the industry's first electrical lane FEC-aware receiver conformance test solution for 100G serial interfaces.

100G Serial FEC Aware Conformance Testing

Keysight demos a physical design validation solution for 800G components and transceivers. 100G electrical interfaces such as those defined by the IEEE 802.3ck and OIF-CEI 112G standardization bodies are the workhorse of next generation datacenter. As 53Gbaud PAM4 interface design margins are shrinking, the need for accurate in-depth design validation has increased tremendously. The solution consists of the M8040A BERT, combined with the G800GE multichannel tester. It is designed to integrate FEC constraints into the physical design validation and compliance testing.
