The full spectrum of 10BaseT, 100BaseTX and 1000BaseT technologies is addressed by the TF-GBE. The range of tests supported includes Template, Amplitude, Jitter, Common Mode Output, Return Loss, as well as other core transmitter tests. Twisted pair models and loads are available, facilitating an expansive range of 10BaseT tests. The TF-GBE has been Tektronix designed to meet the extremely tight margins mandated by the Standards. Onboard test points are provided for 1000BaseT template tests for accurate removal of the disturbing signal and any inaccuracies in the acquisition path. The unique JigMatch capability of the TDSET software makes use of these specially provided test points to deliver dependable results. Open, Short and Load circuits are provided for reliable return loss testing. The TF-GBE test fixture was designed with shrinking test times and reducing expensive workarounds in mind. The Sub-D connector to RJ45 interface circuit makes connecting link partners simple while maintaining signal integrity. Cross-connect circuits enable quick and easy connections to traffic generators or link partners, and eliminate the need for clumsy cable assemblies.
