The Ethernet Transmitter Test application automates 10GBASE-T, NBASE-⁠T (2.5GBASE-T and 5GBASE-T), and IEEE802.3bz (2.5G/5G) physical medium attachment (PMA) physical-layer (PHY) electrical testing to provide a fast and accurate way of testing your ethernet designs.

Based on the TekExpress test automation framework, the Ethernet Transmitter Test application performs all PMA electrical measurements as specified by the IEEE802.3an standard, the IEEE802.3bz standard, and the NBASE-T specification. This allows you to quickly and efficiently test ethernet devices running at 2.5G, 5G, and 10G data rates.

To accurately make these measurements, you need the Tektronix TF-⁠XGBT test fixture. The TF-⁠XGBT test fixture allows you to easily access the device under test (DUT) using either differential probes or matched SMA cables.
