Key features
A wide variety of optical, electrical, and accessory modules support your
specific testing requirements.
Optical modules
Optical modules that support optical data rates from 155 Mb/s to
10 Gb/s to 40 Gb/s to 100 Gb/s to PAM4 for 50G/100G/200G/400G
Optical reference receivers (ORR)
3
support specified requirements
for standards-mandated compliance testing
High optical sensitivity, low noise, and wide dynamic range of the
optical sampling modules allows accurate testing and
characterization of short-reach to long-haul optical communications
standards
Fully calibrated clock recovery solutions – no need to manually
calibrate for data pick-off losses
Calibrated extinction ratio measurements and variable correction
ER measurement ensure accuracy and repeatability

Optical Reference Receiver (ORR) is a 4th-order Bessel-Thompson filter, with a frequency response and tolerances as defined by the standards. Tektronix optimizes the response for best nominal fit and
highest quality mask test results.
