The SB40 base system features a PRBS generator that can operate from 22-44Gbps, a 40G clock and data demultiplexer with external clock recovery options and optional BERTs capable of measuring error rates from 5.5-11Gbps. See accessory options for other required components and cables.
Options to the SB40 include single-ended or dual-channel modulator drivers for Lithium-Niobate (LiNbO3) or Electro Absorption (EA) modulators. Customers may request additional BERTs to measure the three otherwise untested outputs from the demux. Multiple BERTs are recommended to ensure systemic errors do not occur on other channels.
