With the addition of the new G.703 Interface Pod option, the Aeroflex FB100A bit error rate tester can now test a wide range of standardised telecommunications interfaces (from T1 at 1.544 Mbit/s to STS-3 and STM-1 at 155.52 Mbit/s). This improvement greatly increases the variety of equipment on which bit error rate measurements and noise/error characterisation can be made.

Tektronix has announced that it has successfully validated the performance of the new Intel 100 meter Infiniband cable operating at speeds up to 20 Gb/s. The world’s longest InfiniBand optical cable has an electrical interface on either end and uses four serial data lanes at 5 Gb/s each. The cable will be useful in accelerating the performance of large computing clusters. The cables will be used as the part of the backbone network at the Int...
