IEEE 802.3 Ethernet Standards for Electrical and Optical Interconnect

Ethernet provides the common technology behind mobile towers, social media, IoT, wearables, connected cars, and many other new technologies. However, the transmission medium varies with the speed of transmission and application requirements: optical for long-distance and electrical for short-distance. Tektronix offers comprehensive, integrated toolsets for validating the physical layer of IEEE 802.3 Ethernet devices, and for developing and debugging Ethernet-based systems in the hyper-scale datacenter, automotive, enterprise, and consumer ecosystems.

Integrated Toolsets for Ethernet Validation and Debug

The Fastest Ethernet: Metro, Campus, and Data Center at 100G, 200G, 400G, and Beyond

The demand for greater data throughput from data centers is growing and the Ethernet specification is growing alongside it. Devices are reaching 100Gbit per lane, with next-generation 200Gbit devices on the horizon, leading to increased complexity in compliance testing. Tektronix provides world-class solutions to address the demand for high-speed compliance testing and verification.

Key Features:

DPO70000SX real-time oscilloscopes and 8 Series sampling oscilloscope allow high-speed data acquisition up to 70GHz.
TekExpress electrical and optical transmitter (Tx) characterization software and PAM4, jitter, and SDLA analysis tools for PAM4 and NRZ signals enables automated compliance measurement for CAUI, CR, KR, and OIF-CEI.

Automotive In-Vehicle Networking - IVN: 10M-10G and Beyond,

Today’s vehicles are generating vast amounts of data to implement Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), In-vehicle infotainment, etc. These technologies require fast communication and are driving architectural changes in in-vehicle networks. These networks need to be measured, verified for compliance, and debugged.

Key Features:

Transmitter compliance tests for 100BASE-T1, 1000BASE-T1, MultiGBASE-T1, and 10BASE-T1S via a single compliance application
Fully automated setup wizard that configures all required test parameters to perform compliance testing
Compliance and debug toolkit to switch into debug and validation mode when a DUT fails compliance

Consumer and Industrial: 10M – 10G

Ethernet transmitter test solutions automate testing to save significant time and improve repeatability. Tektronix oscilloscope-based software uses the test procedures and test limits specified in industry standards. Automation features reduce time spent on test set-up and data collection.

Key Features:

Comprehensive Ethernet PHY test coverage supporting multiple speeds
Highly optimized and intuitive user interface for quick test configuration and validation of electrical signals
Compliance and margin testing for accurate analysis and improved interoperability
Configure test parameters and limits for debug and characterization
