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

Agilent / Keysight E1403C,”This compact adapter module facilitates the transition from A/B-size to C-size VXI mainframes by providing an active interface across the P1 connector. It allows seamless integration of legacy or differently sized instruments into modern test systems without requiring rewiring or custom hardware. Designed for single-slot applications, it ensures reliable signal integrity and maintains bus compatibility across the system. The adapter delivers stable performance by actively buffering control and data lines, reducing issues related to impedance mismatch or timing skew. Its built-in signal conditioning features help maintain data accuracy and communication reliability even under high-speed data transfer conditions. This module is especially useful in hybrid setups where instruments of different VXI sizes must coexist. Easy to install and configure, it requires no complex setup, making it ideal for dynamic test environments or transitional test beds in aerospace, defense, and industrial automation. The rugged construction ensures durability over long operating cycles, and the low-profile design conserves valuable rack space. Additionally, its passive cooling capability reduces maintenance and operational noise. For engineers managing evolving instrumentation environments, this component supports modular flexibility while preserving system scalability and upgrade potential, enabling streamlined test development without compromising measurement performance or compatibility.”
