Easy and accurate 10GBASE-KR Ethernet backplane design

validation and debug

The Keysight Technologies, Inc. N8814A 10GBASE-KR Ethernet backplane electrical performance

validation and conformance software for Infiniium oscilloscopes provides you with an easy and accurate

way to verify and debug your 10GBASE-KR and 40GBASE-KR4 Ethernet backplane designs. The

Ethernet electrical test software allows you to automatically execute Ethernet physical-layer (PHY)

electrical tests and displays the results in a flexible report format. In addition to the measurement data,

the report provides a margin analysis that shows how closely your device passed or failed each test.

The N8814A 10GBASE-KR Ethernet backplane electrical test software performs a wide range of

electrical tests required to meet the 10GBASE-KR Ethernet backplane electrical specifications as

documented in the IEEE 802.3ap standard. To meet signal quality requirements, your product must

successfully pass conformance testing based on these specifications. Performing these tests gives you

confidence in your design. The N8814A 10GBASE-KR Ethernet backplane electrical test software helps

you execute a wide subset of the conformance tests that can be measured with an oscilloscope.

Features

The N8814A 10GBASE-KR Ethernet backplane electrical test software offers several features to simplify

the validation of Ethernet designs:

– Setup wizard for quick and clear setup, configuration and test

– Wide range of 10GBASE-KR Ethernet backplane electrical tests for standards conformance

– Accurate and repeatable results with Keysight Infiniium oscilloscopes

– Automated reporting in a comprehensive HTML format with margin analysis

With the 10GBASE-KR Ethernet backplane electrical test software, you can use the same

oscilloscope you use for everyday debugging to perform automated testing and margin analysis based

on the 10GBASE-KR Ethernet backplane standards.
