For PAM4 interfaces or SyncE Jitter testing, specific modules MUST be used. These modules have been tested by Calnex to ensure they fulfil the requirements for functionality and performance needed to enable correct operation and guarantee the integrity of the timing measurements. Use of other modules may result in a failed test or incorrect result. More information regarding PAM4 transceivers can be found: https://calnexsolutions.atlassian.net/l/cp/dchS6Mxk

SFP-DD | DR | Flexoptix | P.13S1HG.05.CAL | R11 | Calnex specific transceiver. Please contact Flexoptix for quotation: order@flexoptix.net. |
SFP-DD | FR | Flexoptix | P.13S1HG.2.CAL | R11 | Calnex specific transceiver. Please contact Flexoptix for quotation: order@flexoptix.net. |
SFP-DD | LR | Flexoptix | P.13S1HG.10.CAL | R11 | Calnex specific transceiver. Please contact Flexoptix for quotation: order@flexoptix.net. |
Note1: | Flexoptix transceiver part numbers are Calnex specific, denoted by the letters “CAL” in the part number. Flexoptix may add an extra “-MSA01” suffix to the part number for quotation and ordering purposes (eg P.13S1HG.10.CAL-MSA01). You must contact Flexoptix direct (order@flexoptix.net) because they do not list the Calnex specific parts on their website. | ||||
100G NRZ-PAM4 Conversion Transceivers | |||||
QSFP28 | DR | Innolight | TR-ZC13H-N00 | Neo PAM4 instruments:
Neo NRZ instruments:
| 100G PAM4 optical interface, instrument side is QSFP28 NRZ. Module supports generation and measurement accuracy of ±15ns. See Notes 2 and 3 below.  |
QSFP28 | FR1 | Innolight | TR-ZC13T-N00 | Neo PAM4 instruments:
Neo NRZ instruments:
| 100G PAM4 optical interface, instrument side is QSFP28 NRZ. Module supports generation and measurement accuracy of ±15ns. See Notes 2 and 3 below.  |
QSFP28 | LR | Innolight | TR-ZC13L-N00 | Neo PAM4 instruments:
Neo NRZ instruments:
| 100G PAM4 optical interface, instrument side is QSFP28 NRZ. Module supports generation and measurement accuracy of ±15ns. See Notes 2 and 3 below.  |
Note 2: | Calnex recommend using Flexoptix 100G PAM4 transceivers instead of Innolight 100G NRZ-PAM4 conversion transceivers whenever possible for the best generation and measurement accuracy. | ||||
Note 3: | Innolight use the same part numbers for TR-ZC13H-N00, TR-ZC13T-N00 and TR-ZC13L-N00 transceivers manufactured in China and Thailand although they exhibit different transmit and receive latencies. Please check that the software loaded on your Paragon-neo supports the transceivers that you are using. | ||||
