Agilent/Keysight E1667A

The Agilent/Keysight E1667A is a communication analyzer purpose-built for physical layer and circuit testing in data network environments. Operating as a Sonet/SDH jitter analyzer, this 3-slot C-size VXI module integrates into the Agilent Broadband Series Test System (BSTS) for measurement and monitoring of network equipment performance.

Technical Specifications

The E1667A operates across three standard telecom frequencies: 52 MHz, 155 MHz, and 622 MHz. Wander measurement capability extends to DS1, 2 Mb/s, and 2 MHz signals. The module accepts standard Agilent optical interfaces; specific connector types including FC/PC are available as options and typically supplied separately.
