- ML4023 HCB (Host Compliance Board)
- ML4026-28 Passive Loopback Module
ML4024 MCB :
SFP28 Host (Small Form Factor 28) MSA Compliant Master Host board ML4024, is designed to provide an efficient and easy method of programming and testing 28G SFP28 transceivers. The ML4024 comes complete with Window’s based software and user manual to enable intuitive memory map programming and testing, controlled via mini B USB. The SFP28 host is designed to simulate an ideal environment for SFP28 transceivers module and cable testing, characterization and manufacturing tests. Its properties make the host board as electrically transparent as possible, allowing for a more accurate assessment of the module’s performance.

- Low Insertion Loss Rogers 3003 based material
- Supports single 28G TX & RX Lanes
- High speed signals accessible through 4 2.92mm 40 GHz edge launch K connectors.
- TX and RX channels comes with matching trace length of 3185 mils
- High Speed Traces are Electroless Ni/Electroless Gold Plated. Hard gold plating for fingers.
ML4026-28 Loopback module :
The ML4026 SFP28 Passive Electrical Loopback is used for testing SFP28 transceiver ports under board level tests. Substituting a fully featured SFP28 transceiver with the ML4026 in loopback provides a cost effective low loss method for SFP28 port testing.
The ML4026 is packaged in a standard MSA housing compatible with all SFP28 ports. High speed signals are electrically lopped back from TX side to RX side of the module, the differential TX pair is connected to the corresponding RX pair, and the signals are AC coupled as specified by SFP MSA HW specs. It provides an economical way to exercise SFP28 ports during R&D validation, production testing, and field testing.
The ML4026 provides SFP28 power Class 1, 2, 3 (standard), or 4 loading using a customer supplied +3.3V
voltage supply.
