Serial BERT 12.5 Gb/s
N4962A
Bit Error Rate Tester (BERT)
The Keysight N4962A is a cost-effective 10G BERT, consisting of an internal clock system, PRBS generator, and error detector. It is designed for automated production-line testing, manufacturing, and characterization. The N4962A instrument features highly integrated custom ASICs which lower part count and operating temperature, resulting in high reliability. The N4962A is also compact with a simple interface making it ideal for use on a production test bench.

Serial BERT 32 and 17 Gb/s
N4960A
Bit Error Rate Tester (BERT)
The N4960A is an affordable and compact Serial BERT available in 4-17 Gb/s and 5-32 Gb/s configurations. It is the perfect solution to test multiple channels from 25 to 32 Gb/s for 100 Gigabit Ethernet applications and other multi-channel high-data rate devices operating either synchronously or asynchronously. The N4960A Serial BERT consists of an N4960A clock/controller with N4951A or N4951B pattern generator and N4952A error detector remote-mountable heads. The pattern generator and error detector support PRBS or user patterns and operate up to 32 Gb/s in a single band with no gaps or missing data rates. The remote heads allow the test equipment to be located very close to the device under test, eliminating the need for long cables that degrade signal quality.
