The Agilent/Keysight SW6U-OPT 3 is an option designed to enhance the functionality of a switch mainframe. This particular option provides expanded capabilities for switch mainframes, requiring careful consultation with the relevant documentation to confirm compatibility with your existing mainframe hardware. The SW6U-OPT 3 is associated with the Agilent SW6U Chassis, which is a modular, 6U high, 19-inch rack-mount system capable of housing up to 12 I/O cards. The chassis itself utilizes a GPIB interface for control and includes an integral GPIB controller. The modules within the SW6U chassis are known for their low insertion loss, high isolation, and flat response, leveraging high-reliability moving prism/mirror switches. These modules are designed to fit vertically in the 6U chassis, sharing the same interface and control codes as modules used in the 3U chassis, facilitating seamless upgrades.
