This paper examines the practical aspects of testing a limiting variant SFP+ transceiver for 8x Fibre Channel (8xFC or 8GFC) applications. It covers testing requirements for transmitter and receiver test points of an SFP+ module, including the 8GFC SFP+ high speed serial electrical interface (SFI) interface. It describes the significant tests required for compliance testing and details testing methods to assure the module meets the rigorous 8GFC standards established.

Part I covers the basics of compliance testing to the Fibre Channel standard and gives an overview of the pertinent measurements and how they can be accomplished using BERTScope instrumentation. Part II leverages the foundation laid in Part I and continues with a practical example that demonstrates all aspects of compliance testing highlighted in Part I.
