Tektronix GTS1250
GBIC Tester
Description
This Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel is developing into leading communication standards for the backbones of local area networks and enterprise storage systems.
In support of these technologies, Gigabit Interface Converters (GBICs) have become an industry standard for interfacing network hubs, processors and storage devices via optical fiber links.
The GTS1063*1 and GTS1250 are instruments for testing and evaluating GBICs.
They accept GBICs via a receptacle on the front panel, and provide access to their electrical Transmit and Receive interface, as well as all other monitoring pins.
