Elma now offers VPX SerDes Test Cards with our partner DFT MicroSystems. The 6U cards plug into a VPX chassis to test the signal performance of line cards and/or the backplane.

The VPX SerDes Test module is an ultra low cost multi-lane Gbps serial test module that achieves unprecedented density and performance. They vastly reduce the time, effort, and hardware investment needed to perform line card and backplane characterization of high-speed serial signals. The VPX test modules can be used to directly evaluate true Gbps serial link BER performance inside the chassis with simple GUI/software provided. The Lab-on-board nature of the module eliminates need for acquiring a whole rack of equipment.
