High speed communication tester

PCIe3.0/4.0 high speed cable tester

PCIe3.0/4.0 high speed cable tester

- Series: High speed communication tester - Brand: Te-lead

Many of the new communication standards call for an ever-increasing data rates and cable lane count. At the same time manufacturers have to keep up with stricter cable specifications. Current industrial test solutions become very expensive when adapted for the high data rate, high lane count cables. Here we are presenting cost-effective testing solution designed from the ground up for just such cables. MFCT-PCIe4R currently supports PCIe 4.0 (and older PCIe versions). It can test up to 40 lanes simultaneously.

Product Overview

MFCT-PCIe4R uses flexible adapter design to accommodate different types of cables, such as 40 Lanes PCIe4.0, 8I SlimSAS4, USB4. System automatically self-configures depending on the type of the adapter used. Use of the adapters avoids additional RF cables and associated signal degradation. 

 

Typical Applications:

l  PCIe4.0/3.0 cable and raise card testing

l  SlimSAS/Slimline/MiniSAS cable testing

l  Backplane cable testing

l  Specific multi-channel cable testing

 

Key Features:

MFCT-PCIe4R is powerful cable tester.  It has many features to facilitate high-throughput industrial testing.  These include:

l  More than 40 high speed data lanes(1.25-28.05Gbps) are tested in parallel

l  Interchangeable adapters plug in the Motherboard, without complex RF cable connections

l  BER test for each lanes

l  Low speed channels pass through test

l  Fast eye monitor, including eye mask compliance and eye mask margin tests.

l  Software can be run in either Production mode or Engineering mode.
-  Production mode provides simple interface, ease of control, pass/fail/marginal result at the end of the Production Sequence.

-         Engineering mode allows full tester configuration and production test sequence configuration based on the testing requirements

l  Adapter life cycle alarm

l  Test cable quantity count at each shift

l  Test results and test configurations can be stored in the centralized database

l  User-configurable test report

Function extension option:

The tester function also can be extended. 

l  Generate Insertion loss factor based on VNA result to measure IL. 

l  DC resistance test on same machine with different connector channels. 

l  Power consumption monitor for active DUT

l  Active cable testing
