About the T-BERD / MTS 5800 and SC 4800
T-BERD / MTS 5800
The connector panel of the T-BERD / MTS 5800 provides the connectors and SFP+
connectors (and QSFP/CFP4 on 5800-100G) used to connect the instrument to the
circuit for testing.

After selecting a test application, LEDs illuminate indicating which connectors to use for
your test.
SFP+ connectors
Two SFP+ connectors allow you to connect the 5800 to a SONET, SDH,
1 Gigabit Ethernet, 10GigE, 100 FX, or 100M Ethernet circuit to transmit and then
analyze traffic.
QSFP/CFP4 connectors
The QSFP connectors provide 40G and 100G capabilities, so capabilities cover
QSFP+/QSFP28. The CFP4 port is for 100G usage.
E3/DS3/STS-1/E4/STM1(e) connectors
One Tx/Rx pair or two receivers allow you to connect the 5800 to an E3, DS3, STS-1,
E4, or STM-1e circuit to transmit and analyze traffic.
10/100/1000M connectors
Up to two 10/100/1000M connectors allow you to connect the 5800 to an electrical
Ethernet circuit to transmit and analyze traffic.
