Functions and Advantages
Multi-host parallel travel control, more flexible ATE multi-threaded task processing
It supports mixed parallel testing of different types of modules, and supports testing OSFP/QSFP-DD/QSFP112/QSFP56 modules


Scientific design - double-sided TEC+ water cooler to achieve stronger temperature circulation efficiency
Ramp time: ~2 min
Temperature control range: -5°C~ +75°C
Accurate temperature control: ±1°C
Temperature test: DMI temperature of the module
Power consumption of the module under test: 15W/module
Number of modules under test: 4 QSFP-DD modules with parallel temperature control
Integrated optical port error analyzer (BERT), MCB, and TEC temperature cycle control unit
It can be applied to the bit error performance and eye diagram quality test of 400G/800G optical modules in high and low temperature environments.
Support QSFP-DD, OSFP, QSFP112 and other optical module packaging forms


Consumables maintenance – convenient and economical
Motherboard/MCB split design – After the module has reached the end of its plug-in life, only need to remove the MCB separately and replace it.
Plugging and unplugging of optical modules – the system counts in real time and reminds users to pay attention to the life of consumables in time;
Consumables accessories such as TEC/press-knotted box/MCB are designed to be easily disassembled and assembled

[1]The TC efficiency might fluctuate due to factors such as the ambient temperature, the power consumption of various transceivers, the location of heat sources, and the output power of the chiller.
[2]Due to condensation by long-term low temperature use, the inner space should be circulated with dry and clean air, and periodically heated for drying.
[3]Test environment: Room temperature of 25℃, 15W module placed in a closed space to reduce heat exchange with outside; Feedbacked by DMI temperature.
[4]Perform repeat measurements of the temperature difference between the set temperature and case temperature.
