Agilent / Keysight E1403C A/B to C-Size P1 Active Adapter, 1-Slot

The Agilent/Keysight E1403C A/B to C-Size P1 Active Adapter is a single-slot VXI carrier designed to adapt A-size or B-size VXI modules for use in all C-size VXI mainframes. This adapter provides a fully buffered extension via the P1 connector. The E1403C is designed for slave-only operation and cannot be utilized in Slot 0 or with bus masters. It can be used in conjunction with any number of other adapters within a Keysight VXI mainframe. The adapter facilitates the use of many VME cards within C-size VXI mainframes, provided they meet VXI mechanical and electrical restrictions, although this configuration is not officially supported. The standard module is one slot wide, with an optional ‘010’ configuration available for a two-slot width.
