MultiLane Module Evaluation Board

Product Summary

A Module Compliance Board, also known as an MCB, is a board that can:

 

・There is a cage for inserting the optical transceiver, and the optical transceiver can be inserted as it is.

・There are coaxial connectors for all lanes, allowing easy connection to external electrical signal interfaces.

・Ideal for evaluating the performance of the optical transceiver itself

Product usage

Using the module evaluation board, the random signal of the bit error rate tester is output from the optical transceiver and the eye diagram of this optical signal is evaluated.

We also introduce how to connect multiple devices at the same time.

A technical article explains how to solve network problems with measuring instruments

Using a link failure in an actual network device as a subject, we will introduce an example of troubleshooting in which a measuring instrument found that both the switch and the optical transceiver were the cause.

If you are interested in how the module evaluation board should be used in practice, please take a look.
