Keysight Technologies Introduces Industry's First MGBASE-T Ethernet Compliance Test Applications

  
  

Applications Automate Execution of Physical-Layer Tests Using Oscilloscopes

SANTA ROSA, Calif., July 9, 2015

Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) today introduced the industry's first compliance test application for systems using MGBASE-T networking applications. The Keysight U7236A and U7236B 10GBASE-T and MGBASE-T test applications help network design engineers turn-on and debug MGBASE-T Ethernet networking systems faster. This is accomplished by automating the execution of physical-layer tests on Keysight Infiniium 9000, S-Series, 90000A, V-Series, 90000 X-, 90000 Q- and Z-Series oscilloscopes with up to 63 GHz bandwidth.

Growing consumer demand for bandwidth from wireless networks and data center networking hardware is driving the need for increased network capacity. MGBASE-T Ethernet technology offers faster data transmission, which boosts bandwidth across these networks.

The Keysight MGBASE-T Ethernet compliance applications provide an automated test script that allows engineers to quickly and reliably test MGBASE-T Ethernet transmitter signals at speeds of 2.5G and 5G. Engineers can automate the compliance application to run over extended periods of time, and they can add incremental user-defined tests if desired.

Additional information about Keysight's MGBASE-T Ethernet compliance applications is available at www.keysight.com/find/U7236A and www.keysight.com/find/U7236B. Product images are available at www.keysight.com/find/MGBASET_images.

U.S. Pricing and Availability

The Keysight U7236A/B 10GBASE-T and MGBASE-T Ethernet compliance application consists of two new MGBASE-T options. The MGBASE-T 5G option is priced at $6,000. The MGBASE-T 2.5G option is priced at $4,000. The U7236A/B 10GBASE-T and MGBASE-T Ethernet compliance application is compatible with all currently shipping Infiniium real-time scopes that have at least 2.5-GHz bandwidth.
