Overview

Description
Features

The MP1800A BERT supports a wide range of bit rates from 0.1 to 32.1 Gbit/s for signal integrity analyses for various applications, such as 100 GbE (25Gx4), OTU-4 (28Gx4), 32G DP-QPSK, CEI-28G, 32G FC, Infiniband EDR (26G), etc. Additionally, combining the MP1800A with the MP1821A MUX and MP1822A DEMUX supports Bit Error Rate tests up to 56 Gbit/s, enabling easy upgrades to support next-generation applications, such as CEI-56G-VSR.
