Data Center high Performance Test Adapters

Introduction

• As our connected world demands higher bandwidth and increased data rates, the drive for innovation in both optical and electrical interconnects necessitate advanced test platforms and test signal breakout capabilities. 

• Wilder Technologies has developed a robust plug and receptacle product offering to enable host and device/cable testing

Application Overview

Data-Center specifications generally mandate certain Mated Test Fixture (MTF) electrical channel performance to tight tolerances. Modern high-speed jitter and signaling budgets are increasingly established with a known MTF channel performance that is integral to any given J3u, J4u or Vertical Eye Closure (VEC) values. De-Embed of marginal fixturing is not recommended due to zero-forcing function excitement of JRMS values which will not pass low margin specifications. High quality interconnects are more important for 400/800G and 1.6T validation and the slight margin edge offered by these performance test interfaces can prevent un-necessary product re-design.

An Active Time Domain 800G cable interface test system is configured using a Keysight signal stimulus system, Module Compliance Breakout test interconnects from Wilder and a Keysight oscilloscope. Detailed configuration and calibration procedures can be found in the Keysight IBTA NDR Method of Implementation.
