Agilent/Keysight E1670B

The E1670B is a SONET/SDH logic analysis interface module designed for integration into Agilent/Keysight 16700-Series mainframe systems. This optical interface module captures and analyzes digital signals at 1550 nm wavelength, enabling state and timing analysis for high-speed serial data validation and hardware debugging in telecommunications and synchronous optical networking applications.

Technical Specifications

The E1670B functions as an interface module within modular logic analyzer mainframes, specifically the 16700B and 16702B. Its primary interface is optical, operating at a 1550 nm wavelength for SONET/SDH transmission (TX). The module integrates into standardized form factor slots within compatible Keysight/Agilent mainframes, drawing power from the host system.

Key Features

• SONET/SDH 1550 nm optical interface module (transmit)


• State and timing analysis of captured digital signals


• Digital signal capture and display for validation and debugging
