Instructions

TF-NBase-T

The TF-NBase-T test fixture kit enables

connection to a 2.5GBase-T, 5GBase-T or

10GBase-T Ethernet device (DUT) for

compliance testing with QualiPHY NBase-T

software.

The kit includes:

SMA-SMA Cables, Qty. 2

10GBase Fixture PCA, Qty. 1

Calibration Board, Qty. 1

SMA Terminators, Qty. 6

Power Splitters, Qty. 2

SMA-BNC Cables, Qty. 4

CAT6 Ethernet Cables, Qty. 2

Storage Case (not shown), Qty. 1

There are three primary hardware

configurations, depending on which QualiPHY

NBase-T test you are conducting.

Master and Slave Jitter Tests

1. Connect the Master and Slave DUTs to

the Ethernet ports in PCA Section 2 using the

CAT6 cables.

2. Attach SMA-BNC cables to the D +/-

SMA connectors in PCA Section 2, then

connect them to the oscilloscope inputs.

Distortion Test

1. Connect the Master DUT to the Ethernet

port in PCA Section 1 using a CAT6 cable.

2. Attach the SMA-SMA cables to the A +/–

pair in Section 1, then connect each to a power

splitter SMA connector 1.

3. Attach an SMA-BNC cable to each power

splitter SMA connector 2, then connect them to

the oscilloscope inputs.

4. Attach an SMA-BNC cable to each power

splitter SMA connector S, then connect them to

the Disturbing Sine Wave Generator (Disturber).

5. Terminate unused inputs in Section 1.

6. As the test progresses, move the SMA-SMA cables to the next pair of inputs in Section 1, terminating unused pairs.

Other Tests

1. Connect the Master DUT to the Ethernet

port in PCA Section 1 using a CAT6 cable.

2. Attach SMA-BNC cables to the A +/- pair

in Section 1, then connect them to the

oscilloscope inputs.

3. Terminate unused inputs in Section 1.

4. As the test progresses, move the SMA-

BNC cables to the next pair of inputs in Section

1, terminating the unused pairs.
