N1081A Datasheet, PDF (2/13 Pages) Keysight Technologies – IEEE 802.3 Ethernet Compliance

Introduction
Easy-to-use oscilloscope application that lets you:
–– Save time in understanding details of standards
–– Reduce your IEEE 802.3 test times from hours to minutes
–– Debug your device using custom configurations
–– Characterize up to 10 lanes in multi-lane devices
The greatly increased worldwide demand for video and data transfer has created new requirements
for network expansion, driving innovative network elements for operation up to 100 Gb/s. New designs
are facing more challenges while transferring these signals on printed circuit boards within hosts and
modules, even for short distances. Measuring the IEEE 802.3 parameters can take a full day when manually
characterized, and recalculating factors and equation-driven limits adds to the time the designer spends on
testing.
Keysight Technologies, Inc. created the N1081A, N1082A, N1083A and N1084A IEEE 802.3 Compliance and
Debug Applications to simplify measuring these transmitter parameters and to obtain full results to test
limits in a few minutes. This will keep you focused on getting your products to market knowing that your
results are built on the heritage and consistency of Keysight measurement technology.
