Recently, Keysight announced its new network test solution. The company has combined the functionality of its A400GE-QDD 400GE Layer 1 multiport test system, with that of the M8040A high-performance bit error rate test (BERT) system. Individually, A400GE-QDD offers quick identification of issues related to bit error rate (BER) and forward error correction (FEC) problems of silicon communication devices used in 400GE systems. On the other hand, the M8040A BERT facilitates accurate error analyses and provides repeatable and reliable results. The analysis helps to optimise the performance margins on the physical layer for modern high-speed digital interface standards, PCI Express 5, DDR5, and Thunderbolt 3. By combining these two test systems, Keysight has been able to offer a unique solution—N4891A 400GBASE FEC-aware compliance test solution, which finds performance and interoperability issues early in the design and validation process of data centre-related devices. With its N4891A 400GBASE, Keysight is helping the industry transition from 400GE readiness to massive 400GE deployments. Peerlings highlights, “Keysight’s new test solution fills a gap of high-speed Ethernet testing by combining best-in-class technologies, such as BERT and FEC.”![]()
