T-BERD /MTS-5800 Network Tester
CPRI Check SFP/SFP+ Loopback Testing
This quick card describes how to use the T-BERD/MTS 5800v2 to verify that an optical transceiver (SFP
or SFP+) supports a given CPRI rate.
Equipment Requirements:
• T-BERD/MTS-5800v2 equipped with the
following:
o BERT software release V26.2 or greater
o CPRI test options:
▪ C512GCPRI for CPRI Rate 2 (1228.8M)
▪ C524GCPRI for CPRI Rate 3 (2457.6M)
▪ C549GCPRI for CPRI Rate 5 (4915.2M)
▪ C598GCPRI for CPRI Rate 7 (9830.4M)
• Single mode LC loopback plug or
LC-LC jumper cable
• Fiber optic inspection microscope
(VIAVI P5000i or FiberChek Probe)
• Fiber optic cleaning supplies
Fiber Inspection Guidelines:
• Use the VIAVI P5000i or FiberChek Probe
microscope to inspect the jumper cable or
loopback plug before connection to the optical
transceiver.
• Focus the fiber on the screen. If dirty, clean
the connector.
• If it appears clean, run inspection test.
• If it fails, clean the fiber and re-run inspection
test.
• Repeat until it passes.
Connect Optics Under Test:
1. Insert optics under test into the Port 1 slot on
the top of the T-BERD/MTS 5800v2.
2. After inspecting the fiber end faces, connect
the Tx and Rx ports using an LC-LC jumper
cable or loopback.
