User guide

• Programmable via J-BERT N4903B or stand-alone
• USB and LAN connectivity
Once the N4916A/B is connected, it can be conveniently controlled via the Serial
BERT.
N4876A 28 Gb/s Multiplexer 2:1
The Agilent's N4876A is a 2:1 multiplexer with an output data rate of up to 28.4
Gb/s.
Following are the features and benefits of N4876A:
• 2:1 multiplexer driven by Serial BERT data and aux data or by ParBERT Data
rate up to 28.4 Gb/s
• DC coupled, tolerates unbalanced patterns
• Transparent to Serial BERT generated jitter
• Small box, can be located closely to DUT
• Controlled via the local user interface of Serial BERT
• Remote Programming is transparently done via Serial BERT
M8061A 28 Gb/s Multiplexer with De-emphasis
The Agilent's M8061A is a 2:1 multiplexer to characterize serial interfaces of up to
28.4 Gb/s with optional de-emphasis to extend the rate of J-BERT N4903B pattern
generator.
Data rates up to 28.4 Gb/s are used for:
• Optical transceivers such as 100GBASE-LR4, -SR4 and -ER4, 32G Fibre Channel
• SERDES and chip-to-chip interfaces, such as OIF CEI
• Backplanes, cables, such as 100GBASE-KR4, -CR4
• Next generation computer buses, such as PCIe4
Following are the features and benefits of M8061A:
