Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel are developing into leading communication standards for the backbones of local area networks and enterprise storage systems. In support of these technologies, Gigabit Interface Converters (GBICs) have become an industry standard for interfacing network hubs, processors and storage devices via optical fiber links. The GTS1063 and GTS1250 are instruments for testing and evaluating GBICs. They accept GBICs via a receptacle on the front-panel, and provide access to their electrical Transmit and Receive interface, and all other monitoring pins.
Features:
Compact Platforms for Testing and Characterizing Industry-standard GBIC Modules
Built-in Generator for Standard Jitter Test Patterns
Electrical Input for External Transmit Patterns
Differential Unbuffered Output for Serial Receive Data Stream
