The Agilent/Keysight E4502A is a VXI module configured as a dual optical multiplexer, functioning as a single 1×17 optical switch for fiber optic signal routing and switching applications. This obsolete product is no longer manufactured by Keysight but may remain supported through self-service resources on the Keysight website.
– Technical Specifications
• Product Type: VXI Module, Optical Multiplexer
• Switch Configuration: Dual Optical 1×17 Multiplexer (single 1×17 optical switch)
• Status: Obsolete — production discontinued
– Key Features
• Operates within VXI (VME eXtensions for Instrumentation) systems via VXI backplane interface
• Dual multiplexer architecture for flexible optical signal selection
• Optical input and output port connectivity
• Integrated VXI backplane control and power integration
• VXI form factor compliance for modular system integration
– Typical Applications
• Optical signal routing and multiplexing in VXI-based test systems
• Fiber optic switch control in automated measurement setups
• Multi-channel optical signal selection for laboratory and manufacturing environments
– Compatibility & Integration
The E4502A integrates into VXI mainframe systems through standard VXI backplane connectivity. Operational compatibility depends on the VXI mainframe, system controller, and supporting modules within the measurement chassis. As an obsolete module, system integration with modern VXI platforms or alternative instrumentation against legacy VXI specifications and command protocol documentation. Detailed compatibility requirements, optical interface standards, and control command sets are available through the product’s technical documentation and the manufacturer’s support resources.
