iXblue Optical Reference Transmitter ModBox
iXblue and Anritsu offer complementary hardware solutions for optical bandwidth measurements and Stressed Receiver Sensitivity tests. For O/E device bandwidth measurement To characterise wide bandwidth receiver modules, the Anritsu Vector-Star electrical VNA is associated to the electrical to optical converter from iXblue - aka ModBox-VNA. This Optical Vector Network Analysers (OVNAs) setup is ideal to characterise photo detectors and receivers (O/E devices), as well as optical components. The instrument combo enables accurate, flexible and cost-effective components characterisation at 850 nm up to 40 GHz, and C plus O bands up to 70 GHz.
OBand-PAM4-28Gbaud – generates the required stressed signals, for both single-mode (per 802.3bs) and multi-mode (per 802.3cd) wavelengths.

For calibrated Stressed Receiver Sensitivity tests For short reach at 850 nm, or longer reach in the O-band, iXblue PAM4 Optical Reference Transmitters address the need for very high- speed test solutions for next- generation data center applications. Anritsu’s BERT and iXblue’s PAM-4 ModBoxes are combined for calibrated SRS (stressed receiver sensitivity) tests. The compliance test for 200GBASE-
SR4 and 200GBASE-DR4 transceivers, requires Gaussian and Sinusoidal noise to be added. The noise can be generated by the Anritsu Noise Generator seeding the iXblue ModBox for transfer to the optical domain. Combining the Anritsu MP1900A BERT and MU195020A PPG with the MU195050A Noise Generator and iXblue Optical Reference Transmitters - ModBox-850nm- PAM4-28Gbaud or ModBox-

Yamaichi extends range of connectors for data networking
Munich-based connections systems manufacturer Yamaichi Electronics, has extended its QSFP range of high-speed connectors for the data networking market with the QSFP56 host connector. The QSFP56 host connector supports HDR 200G Infiniband and is able to transmit signals at 56 Gbps per channel. In addition, it compliant with the SFF- 8436 and SFF-8662 standards as a card-edge-to-transceiver module interface. With type ‘A’ PCB footprint, the QSFP56 has a 38-pin count, which is the same as previous, lower-speed versions, including QSFP, QSFP+ and QSFP28. All contacts are gold-plated 0.76 μm min. for reliable, high-speed data transmission, and designed for SMT mounting and the physical
interface is compatible with the previous versions. There is also a cage, heatsink, heatsink clip and light pipe available as optional components, meaning the customer can choose the ideal connector configuration from a package of host connector and mechanical kit. Yamaichi Electronics has also developed the QSFP-DD connector, which like the QSFP56 is in mass production and available commercially. Yamaichi says that recent measurements have proven that the signal integrity of the current QSFP-DD design fully complies with IEEE 802.3 ck (112 Gb/ch PAM4 modulation).
The new matrIQTM Series provides high-performance optical and photonic test capabilities in an ultra-compact form factor. Each instrument can be connected by USB and Ethernet and a modern GUI offers simple, intuitive operation from your PC, tablet or mobile device. The matrIQ Series includes tunable and DFB laser sources, optical spectrum analysers, variable optical attenuators, optical power meters, optical-to-electrical convertors and optical switches. www.coherent-solutions.com/matriq
