XFP Converter Module
PN L-6001-xCMXFP-1
DESCRIPTIONiCMXFP-1 is an XFP O/E, E/O converter module that plugs into theXBERT and ParalleX™ chassis. iCMXFP-1 incorporates a standard XFP
module slot, which gives the user great flexibility to provide & plug-in an
XFP module which meets their testing requirements. All MSA voltages aresupported for XFP modules to 3.5W. Monitor and control functions can bechanged via an easy to use GUI, including serial bus access of the XFPmodule. An identical module in terms of performance is the eCMXFP.
This external module can be connected via cable to the X-BERT
mainframe, and is very useful for device testing during temperature
cycling or burn-in, due to the relaxed cable length requirement between
the converter module and DUT.

XBERT PLATFORM: LETS YOU START SMALL AND GROW BIGXBERT is a low-cost, modular Bit Error Rate Test
Platform used for verification and test of 10Gb/s andabove optical and electrical chip, sub assembly andsystem designs. ParalleX™ allows users to performseveral BER tests at once using a single clock source.
The system is ideal for developers desiring to run
simultaneous BER tests on parallel interfaces or multiple
independent interfaces. XBERT and ParalleX™ arescalable so users can start off with a single channel andadd modules to grow the system. Manufacturers canrealize great savings by taking advantage of the XBERTand ParalleX™ system’s scalability to perform parallel
testing in volume production environments.

KEY PERFORMANCE PARAMETERS
EPG10-x
The maximum number of XFP module connections/disconnections depends not only on the connector, but also
on the XFP module used. This is approximately 200 connections before significant degradation occurs.
The table below shows the limits of the XFP modules defined by the MSA.
