This unit
The Agilent/Keysight E1407A is an active adapter that enables A/B-size VXI modules to integrate into C-size VXI mainframes. It has fully buffered P1 and P2 connector extensions with configurable trigger signal routing and VME isolation capability. Designed as a slave-only device, the E1407A cannot occupy Slot 0 or function with bus masters, making it suitable for passive insertion into populated C-size chassis.
A ribbon cable isolates outer P2 rows for VME applications. The adapter is available in standard single-slot or optional two-slot configurations. Note: This product is obsolete and no longer available due to non-compliance with EU RoHS directive 2011/65/EU; Keysight provides service and support through end-of-life.
Technical Specifications
- Module Type: Active Adapter
- Size Compatibility: Adapts A/B-size VXI modules to C-size VXI mainframes
- Slot Width: Standard 1-slot; Option 010 provides 2-slot width (leftmost backplane connection)
- Connector Support: P1 and P2, fully buffered extensions
- Operational Mode: Slave-only; cannot be used in Slot 0 or with bus masters
- Multiple Unit Support: Any number of adapters can be deployed in a single mainframe
Key Features
- Fully buffered P1 and P2 interface extensions maintain signal integrity across adaptation boundary
- Configurable TTL trigger routing (TTL0–TTL7): selectable per-line sourcing from B-size module or VXI backplane
- Configurable ECL trigger routing (ECL0/ECL1): independent direction selection per signal line
- P2 ribbon cable enables outer row isolation for VME card adaptation
- Slave architecture eliminates bus arbitration conflicts in multi-adapter configurations
Compatibility & Integration The E1407A integrates legacy A/B-size VXI instrumentation into modern C-size chassis without requiring redesign. Trigger line switches provide per-signal flexibility for mixed-topology systems. While many VME cards can mechanically and electrically adapt through the E1407A, such configurations are unsupported. SUMBUS handling requires external ribbon cable and jumper configuration; no inherent SUMBUS buffering is provided.

Agilent / Keysight E1407A — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Agilent / Keysight E1407A. Calibration covers all module-specific parameters per manufacturer datasheet, output accuracy and linearity, frequency accuracy, and VXI register and trigger bus compliance. All calibrations ship with a NIST-traceable certificate. Turnaround is typically 1–3 business days after receipt.
Common Agilent / Keysight E1407A faults: relay contact wear, DAC/ADC drift, VXI backplane connector oxidation. Common faults include relay contact wear, DAC or ADC gain drift, and VXI backplane edge connector oxidation. Most modules are repaired at the component level with full post-repair verification in a C-size or D-size mainframe.
