QSFP / QSFP+ Host Test Board

The QSFP/QSFP+ Host Test Board (HTB) is designed to provide an efficient and easy method of testing QSFP/QSFP+ transceivers, active cables, and customizing Timbercon's QSFP/QSFP+ electric loopbacks.

The QSFP/QSFP+ HTB includes Timbercon proprietary operations software and a user manual to enable QSFP/QSFP+ memory map programming and testing. The software communicates to the board through an easy-to-use USB connection and is Windows® based. The software is designed to operate on Windows 98 and above.

The QSFP/QSFP+ HTB features transmit, receive, computer interface, and power supply ports. It includes a status LED that when connected, will illuminate when the signal is asserted. There are 16 SMA connectors to meet customers’ testing requirements during the development and analysis of transceivers.

The QSFP/QSFP+ HTB is designed to simulate an ideal environment for QSFP/QSFP+ transceiver module testing, using Rogers 3003 PC board material and single-ended micro-strip transmission lines. These properties make the HTB as electrically transparent as possible, allowing a more accurate assessment of the QSFP/QSFP+ transceiver or electric loopback modules' performance.
