Keysight J-BERT M8020A Bit Error Rate Tester (BERT)
The Keysight J-BERT M8020A Bit Error Rate Tester (BERT) enables fast and accurate receiver characterization of single and multi-lane devices running up to 16 or 32 Gb/s. The high-performance Keysight J-BERT M8020A enables fast and accurate receiver characterization of single and multi-lane devices running up to 16 or 32 Gb/s.
The J-BERT M8020A is designed for R&D and test engineers who characterize and verify compliance of chips, devices, boards and systems with serial I/O ports up to 16 Gb/s and 32 Gb/s in the consumer, computer, mobile computing, datacenter and communications industry. The Keysight J-BERT M8020A can be used to test popular serial bus standards, such as PCI Express®, SATA/SAS, DisplayPort, and USB Super Speed, MIPI M-PHY, SD UHS-II, Fiber Channel, QPI, memory buses, backplanes, repeaters, active optical cables, Thunderbolt, 10/40 GbE/SFP+/QSFP, and 100GbE/CFP2.
