The Keysight 87421A is a universal input DC switching power supply engineered to deliver bias voltages for microwave system amplifiers and high-speed lightwave converters. This compact 25 W unit operates from 90–250 VAC (50/60 Hz) input and provides +12 VDC at 2.0 A primary output with a -12 VDC at 200 mA secondary output. Weighing just 0.9 kg, it integrates into bench and rack-mounted configurations through its included 2-meter DC bias cable terminated with a 3-pin connector and D-subminiature connector (83006-60005) for direct amplifier interface.
