The Keysight PX0101A is an interface cable that converts ferrule terminal connections to standard BNC connectors for trigger and interlock applications in test and measurement systems. Engineered to maintain signal integrity across demanding measurement setups, this cable provides reliable connectivity between instruments requiring galvanic isolation or signal routing at low voltage levels.
Technical Specifications
• Connector Type 1: Ferrule Terminal
• Connector Type 2: BNC
• Voltage Rating: DC 3.3V
• Available Lengths: 1.5 m (PX0101A-001) and 3.0 m (PX0101A-002)
– Key Features
• Dedicated ferrule-to-BNC conversion eliminates adapter chains and reduces connection points
• Supports low-voltage trigger and interlock signaling in modular instrument architectures
• Two standard lengths accommodate flexible bench and rack-mount configurations
• Maintains signal fidelity critical for timing and synchronization circuits
– Typical Applications
• Trigger signal routing between modular instruments
• Interlock connections in multi-instrument test sequences
• Low-voltage control signaling in automated test systems
• Synchronization between chassis and external measurement modules
– Compatibility & Integration
The PX0101A integrates with the M9601A, M9602A, M9603A, M96014A, and M96015A chassis modules, as well as the PZ2100 SMU Series. It enables direct connectivity where ferrule terminals on source instruments connect to BNC inputs on measurement or control devices, eliminating intermediate adapter hardware and reducing measurement uncertainty from multiple connection interfaces.
