Tektronix 80C15

A wide variety of optical, electrical, and accessory modules support your specific testing requirements.

The Tektronix 80C00 optical sampling modules, when installed in DSA8300 Digital Serial Analyzer sampling oscilloscopes¹, provide complete optical test solutions for telecom (125 Mb/s to 44.50 Gb/s) and datacom (gigabit Ethernet, 10 GbE, 40 GbE, 50G/100G/200G/400G Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and InfiniBand) applications, as well as general-purpose optical component testing.

Other module features include an optical-to-electrical converter, average power monitor, one or more reference receiver filters, a full bandwidth optical path, optional integrated clock recovery², optional electrical clock recovery signal pickoff³ , and a universal optical input connector.

Notes:

¹ Also compatible with DSA8200, TDS/CSA8200, TDS/CSA8000B, and TDS/CSA8000 sampling oscilloscopes.

² 80C07B, 80C08D, and 80C11B modules.

³ 80C10C (with opt. CRTP), 80C12B, 80C14, 80C15, 80C17, and 80C18 modules.

80C15 provides 32 GHz full bandwidth and fully integrated optical reference receivers (ORR) 6 , enabling conformance testing of both single and multi-mode conformance testing at 850,1310 and 1550 nm. The module includes bandwidth filters which support the following rates: 25.781 Gb/s (100GBASESR4, Inifiniband EDR, TDEC), 27.952 Gb/s (OTU-4), and 28.05 Gb/s (32G Fibre Channel).

Note:

³ Optical Reference Receiver (ORR) is a 4th-order Bessel-Thompson filter, with a frequency response and tolerances as defined by the standards. Tektronix optimizes the response for best nominal fit and highest quality mask test results.

Notes:

¹ Modules with fiber inputs of 62.5 µm can accommodate 9 µm (single-mode) as well as 50 µm and 62.5 µm (multi-mode) fibers. Modules with fiber inputs of 50 µm can accommodate 9 µm (single-mode) fibers.

² When ordered with clock recovery trigger pick-off option (option CRTP), the mask test sensitivity of the 80C10C is reduced by 1 dBm.

³ Low ER signals (ER ≤ 6 dB): signal passes 802.3ae-like mask (scaled horizontally for bit rate); 105 samples in mask. High ER signals (ER > 6 dB): signal passes OC-192-like mask (scaled horizontally for bit rate); 105 samples in mask. Sensitivity expressed as minimum AOP of a high ER signal that passes an ideal signal.

⁴ The mask test sensitivity of the 80C15/17/18 is reduced by 3 dB for 850 nm signals.

⁵ The RMS optical noise (both typical and maximum) for wavelengths other than 1310 nm is obtained by multiplying the values in the table above by the following factors— 80C10C: 0.77 for 1550 nm, 80C15: 1.06 for 1550 nm and 0.67 for 850 nm, 80C17/18: 1.1 for 1550 nm, 1.66 for 850 nm.

⁶ Power meter accuracy = 5% of reading + connector uncertainty for 1550 nm ±20 nm and 1310 nm ±20 nm.

Note:

* Optical Reference Receiver (ORR) is a 4th-order Bessel-Thompson filter, with a nominal response and other details defined by standards. Details of the definition differ; Tektronix optimizes the response for best nominal fit and highest quality mask test results.
