Figure 4-1 shows a block diagram of the test setup.
Table 4-2 details the test conditions used.
| TEST CONDITIONS | VALUE |
|---|---|
| CDN | #2, #3, #4, #5 |
| VPoDL | 12V, 24V, 48V |
| IPoDL | Maximum rated current of CDN, pulsed current profile |
| Cable length | 15m |
| Temperature | Room temperature |
| Test duration | 10 minutes |
This tests evaluates the test parameter SQI. During the test, the PHY continuously measures the mean square error (MSE) of the signal and stores the result in a register. This MSE register of the PHY is logged during the test. After the test is completed, the MSE register log is converted to the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).
To determine if the test has passed or failed, Table 4-3 is used.
| SQI VALUE | SNR VALUE | BER FOR AWG NOISE MODEL |
|---|---|---|
| SQI = 7 | SNR > = 24dB | Passing IEEE limit |
| SQI = 6 | 24dB > SNR > = 23dB | |
| SQI = 5 | 23dB > SNR > = 22dB | |
| SQI = 4 | 22dB > SNR > = 21dB | |
| SQI = 3 | 21dB > SNR > = 20dB | |
| SQI = 2 | 20dB > SNR > = 19dB | Failing IEEE limit |
| SQI = 1 | 19dB > SNR > = 18dB | |
| SQI = 0 | SNR < 18dB |
