TEKTRONIX 80C11B Tektronix Optical Interface Test Module

Tektronix 80C11B Optical Sampling Module

Product Overview

The Tektronix 80C11B is a high-performance optical sampling module designed for high-speed optical communication testing, suitable for R&D, production, and system validation. Typically used with the Tektronix DSA8300 Series Sampling Oscilloscope, it delivers precise optical signal analysis capabilities for 400G/800G optical modules, coherent optical communications, and data center interconnect testing.

Key Features

Ultra-High Bandwidth

• Supports 65 GHz optical bandwidth, ideal for 112 GBaud PAM4 and higher-speed signal testing

• Low-noise design ensures accurate eye diagram, TDECQ (Transmitter Dispersion Eye Closure Quaternary), and other critical measurements

Flexible Configuration

• Compatible with single-mode fiber (SMF) or polarization-multiplexed (PM) testing requirements

• Built-in variable optical attenuator (VOA) for dynamic range optimization

High-Precision Measurements

• Integrated clock recovery (CDR) function supports 28 GBaud to 64 GBaud rates

• Features pulse response correction (PRC) to eliminate system-induced distortion

System Compatibility

• Seamlessly integrates with the Tektronix DSA8300 Sampling Oscilloscope

• Supports automated testing and works with LabVIEW, Python, and other development environments
