Tuning SFP+ Transceivers

This quick card describes how to tune the wavelength of MSA Compliant 10G tunable SFP+ transceiver
using the T-BERD 5800. Note: Some vendors’ SFP+ transceivers use proprietary tuning methods and
cannot be tuned with the T-BERD 5800.

Equipment Requirements:

• T-BERD 5800v2 or T-BERD 5800-100G equipped with:

o BERT software release V27.2 or greater
o 10G Ethernet test options: C510GELAN

• MSA Compliant Tunable SFP+ optical transceiver

Information Requirements:

• Tuning Mode: Channel, Wavelength or Frequency

• DWDM Channel, Wavelength or Frequency

Tune the SFP+:

1. Tap the Signal Tab to display Tunable Device settings

2. Select the Tuning Mode: Channel, Wavelength or Frequency

3. If you selected Wavelength, specify the wavelength in nm.

4. If you selected Channel, specify the channel number.

5. If you selected Frequency, specify the frequency in GHz.

6. The transceiver is tuned to the selected value, or nearest value in the ITU G.694 Spectral Grid.
