T-BERD/MTS-5800 Network Tester. Ethernet Capture/Decode in Optical SFP Through Mode

Pages 4 Pages

This paper explains how to use the T‑BERD/MTS‑5800 to capture and analyze live Ethernet traffic through an optical SFP interface in pass‑through mode. It lists the required equipment, including a T‑BERD 5800 with BERT software version 29.0 or higher, appropriate Ethernet test options for 1G or 10G, and an SFP transceiver matching the line under test. Patch cables compatible with the transceiver and network, such as CAT5E or fiber, are also needed, along with a fiber inspection microscope like the VIAVI P5000i or FiberChek Probe to ensure optimal connection quality.
