Broadband Bit Error Rate Tester (BERT) for 40G, 56G and 100G (4 x 32G)

Modular BERT system for OC-768 and OC-192

The SHF Bit Pattern Generator (BPG) and Error Analyzer (EA) modules are units which can be used to form a complete 40G BERT (OC-768 BERT) or multi-channel 10G BERT (OC-192 BERT). They work broadband from 1.5 to 56 Gbps and in conjunction with our test and measurement modules, a system for producing and analyzing optical signals can be put together. It's a future-proof system which supports 100 Gigabit Ethernet developments based on multiple channel 25 GBps (28/32 Gbps) and 50 Gbps (56 Gbps) in addition to the standard 40 Gbps (43 Gbps). The setup and control is very easy, even though it's flexible and offers sophisticated features at the same time.

SHF received Frost & Sullivan's best practise award based on their research on bit error rate testers (see Frost & Sullivan's Press Release or SHF's Press Release).
