BER test, the BERT Pattern Generator supplies a data signal that is converted to a modulated optical signal by an OI1125 E/O Transmitter. The OI2125 O/E Receiver is used to convert the optical BER test pattern back to an electrical signal for analysis by the BERT Error Analyzer.
Correction (10.66423 Gb/s). Options The AC power input to the OI2125 O/E Receiver is supplied through a standard IEC320 AC input connector. The internal power supply in the receiver operates with AC power from 100 to 240 VAC at either 50 or 60 Hz. The standard power cord supplied with the OI2125 O/E Receiver is a 120 VAC North American power cord.

Getting Started Functional Check To perform a functional check of the OI2125 O/E Receiver, you must connect a setup as shown in Figure 2. This setup creates an optical data source by combining a pattern generator with an electrical-to-optical transmitter (with an internal laser source).
The oscilloscope displays an eye pattern as shown in Figure 3. This indicates that the receiver is functioning correctly—it is converting the modulated input optical signal to an electrical eye pattern that represents the data stream from the BERT.
