N1000 Series Modules

The N1032A is a single-channel optical mini module. The N1032B is a dual-channel optical mini module provides . Both modules occupy one of the four module slots on the DCA-X mainframe.

The N1032A/B requires FlexDCA firmware version A.07.00 or above.

On optical channels, the maximum optical input power is 16 mW.

Available Optical Reference Filter Rates for Optical Channels

  • 49.7664 GBd (37.3 GHz)
  • 106.25 GBd TDECQ (53.1 GHz)
  • 112.5 GBd TDECQ (56.25 GHz)
  • 106.25 GBd (79.7 GHz)

Option IRC

Option IRC provides optical channel System Impulse Response Correction (SIRC) measurement and data files. These files provide an ideal channel response. SIRC data can be applied in the System Impulse Response Correction dialog. The SIRC correction data feature is a digital filter that is used to:

  • Improve the response of module reference filters to more closely match an ideal receiver.
  • Enable non-standard reference receiver rates or bandwidths.
  • Increase the bandwidth of the channel by up to 50%.
  • Ensures that an eye diagram will look identical between different modules.

SIRC correction data is unique to a specific module (serial number). Option IRC ships standard with every module and does not need to be purchased.
