N1014A SFF-8431 (SFP+) Compliance and Debug Application for 86100D DCA-X

Comprehensive Compliance and Debug Solution for SFP+ Applications

• addresses all seven test groups for host, host copper, and module transmit tests, and for receiver test signals
• measures all of the ~70 parameters
• includes convenient utilities to de-skew cables

Flexible and Extensible

• Operate on an 86100D DCA-X oscilloscope or a PC connected to an N109x DCA-M via USB.
• Control the device under test and other equipment.
• Test all or selected parameters to compliance limits or custom limits for development.

Compatibility

• 86100D DCA-X mainframe
• N109X DCA-M oscilloscope
• N107X clock recovery

Reduce your test time from hours to minutes. Use the N1014A compliance and debug application to measure your high-speed serial host board, module, or integrated circuit to all required transmit parameters in the SFF-8431 (SFP+) specifications.

Keysight offers a wide range of electrical and optical test solutions to address current and emerging communications standards. For SFF-8431 (SFP+), you may choose a hardware combination that addresses your test needs for today and into the future:

1. 86100D DCA-X with 86108B (integrated “one-box” solution) — recommended
2. 86100D DCA-X with DCA module and external clock recovery
3. N109X electrical DCA-M with external clock recovery
