This unit
The Agilent/Keysight 37717A is a field-portable communications performance analyzer engineered for testing and validating PDH/SDH/SONET and ATM transport networks. This multi-rate tester supports data rates up to 622 Mb/s and delivers critical measurements including bit error rate (BER) testing, jitter analysis, and signal quality assessment. The instrument functions as a dual SONET/SDH analyzer, enabling rapid reconfiguration between protocol standards for manufacturing test environments and field deployment.
