High-Speed Cable Test System

STP8000L High‑Speed Cable Test System

 
Product Overview 

 

The STP8000L is a high‑speed cable test system developed by Semi‑mile. The system supports mainstream high‑speed digital standard protocols, including PCIe Gen4/Gen5 1X‑16X, Mini SAS HD / Slimline SAS, SFP / SFP+ / SFP28 / SFP56, QSFP+ / QSFP28 / QSFP56 / QSFP‑DD / OSFP, USB3.0 / USB4.0 / TBT3.0 / TBT4.0 / HDMI / DP, high‑speed differential pairs, and more.

This system can be applied not only to rapid production line inspection, but also, with the appropriate options, to problem diagnosis during the R&D phase, such as product issues caused by adapters, structural periodicities, cables, and other factors.

System Composition 
The STP8000L mainly consists of a vector network analyzer, switch matrix, host software, and related accessories. The system supports industry‑mainstream vector network analyzers (such as Keysight E5071C/E5080B/M980xA, R&S ZNB, ZNA, etc.). With the self‑developed matrix system and host software, it delivers industry‑leading test speed and accuracy.

Frequency Domain
  • Insertion Loss SDD21/ILV
  • Return Loss SDD11 | SDD22
  • Common‑Differential Return Loss SDC11 | SDC22 | SCD11 | SCD22
  • Common‑Common Return Loss SCC11 | SCC22
  • Common‑Differential Insertion Loss / Mode Conversion SCD21 | SDC21
  • Signal‑to‑Noise Ratio SCD21‑SDD21
  • Crosstalk / Intra‑pair Crosstalk: FEXT | NEXT / MDFEXT / MDNEXT / PSFEXT / PSNEXT
  • Impedance transformation (VNA is a 100 Ohm test system, can be transformed to 85 Ohms for testing)
  • Fixture de‑embedding: supports independent de‑embedding per channel; use the .s4p file provided with the test fixture (2x Thru / 1x Open…) to remove fixture effects from test results
Time Domain
  • Differential Impedance TDD11 | TDD22 | rise time configurable
  • Skew / Intra‑pair Skew / Differential signal pairs skew
  • Differential Delay

Advanced Calibration Technology, Fixture S‑Parameter Extraction and De‑embedding
  • Calibration methods: electronic calibration kits / mechanical calibration kits
  • Supports AFR de‑embedding: requires integration of AFR de‑embedding function in test software, supports batch testing
  • Thru test calibration: calibrate corresponding thru paths, calibrated by channel count
  • Thru de‑embedding (insertion loss de‑embedding, crosstalk de‑embedding selectable; return loss, impedance, etc. not de‑embedded), de‑embedding options selectable
  • Crosstalk calibration: after calibrating thru paths, use de‑embedding method or other methods; manufacturer proposes solution based on own capabilities
  • Supports independent de‑embedding for each channel
  • Calibration accuracy: within 40 GHz, testing thru components, insertion loss deviation less than ±0.2 dB, return loss less than -27 dB
