Optical measurement system first to answer needs of emerging Ethernet technology

Test & Measurement
Tektronix is offering an upgrade to its popular communications signal analyser with the introduction of two new optical sampling modules aimed at the fast-growing 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 GbE) and Optical Transport Network (10 Gb OTN) markets.
Market pressure to provide affordable 10 GbE products has prompted a shift to development of higher data rate transmission components based on low-cost, low-power optical transceivers - technologies in widespread use today in lower speed transmission systems. These low-power devices require higher sensitivity and improved noise performance in manufacturing test equipment. In addition, equipment makers ramping up for 10 GbE production need measurement solutions that can quickly deliver accurate, repeatable test results for the higher data rate products.
The new Tektronix CSA8000B Series communications signal analyser coupled with the new 80C08 optical sampling module form the industry's first integrated solution that offers the measurement sensitivity and throughput required for emerging 10 GbE manufacturing production requirements, says Tektronix.
