CPRI Check, Dark Fiber and WDM Loopback Testing
This quick card describes how to verify that a dark fiber or CWDM/DWDM front-haul link will support
error-free CPRI transport at a given line rate, using the T-BERD 5800v2 and a hard loop.
Equipment Requirements:
• T-BERD/MTS-5800v2 equipped with:
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)
• SFP or SFP+ optical transceiver that supports
the CPRI rate for the fiber under test
• Single mode jumper cable to connect the T-
BERD to the fiber under test
• Single mode loopback plug or jumper cable to
loopback the fiber under test
• Fiber optic inspection microscope
(VIAVI P5000i or FiberChek Probe)
• Fiber optic cleaning supplies
Information Requirements:
• CPRI Line Rate
• Pass/Fail Criteria:
o Maximum and Minimum Optical Receive Level for looped-back signal
o Maximum Round Trip Delay for fiber under test
