Request a quoteProduct overview
5233D is a modular bit error rate test platform for optical modules in a 2U chassis, supporting NRZ and PAM4. Selected function and interface boards cover aggregate interface rates of 100 Mbps–600 Gbps and provide BER, eye diagrams, voltage bias, pre-emphasis, amplitude control, temperature and power monitoring, with RS232 and Ethernet remote control. Rates, channel counts and functions depend on the selected configuration.
Key features
- Automatic optical-module recognition and control, with BER tests per interface and channel.
- Module power supply, voltage bias, I/O and status control.
- I2C / MDIO digital diagnostic monitoring and register/alarm queries.
- Eye height and width per interface and channel, plus optical-module temperature monitoring.
- Command-based remote control for automated test workflows.

Additional information
The DC chassis is standard; the AC chassis is optional. The mainframe and options may be ordered separately. Normal operation requires at least one test module system consisting of a function board and a compatible interface board. Quantities in the option table refer to each selected item, not to a complete set included with every mainframe. Photos show front and rear configuration examples of DC and AC chassis; the delivered interface combination follows the order. Price, lead time and delivery scope are subject to the final configuration quotation.
