Product Summary
The Host Compliance Board, also known as HCB, is a board that can:
・There is an interface with the same shape as the optical transceiver module, and it can be directly inserted into network equipment.
・There are coaxial connectors for all lanes, allowing easy electrical signal interface with the outside.
・Ideal for evaluating the performance of optical transceiver module ports in network equipment
Product usage
Direct evaluation of electrical waveforms output from optical transceiver module ports of network equipment using host evaluation boards

A technical article explains how to solve network problems with measuring instruments
Using a link failure in an actual network device as a theme, we introduce an example of troubleshooting in which a measuring instrument found that the cause was in both the switch and the optical transceiver module.
If you are interested in how to use measuring instruments in the field, please take a look.
