The Keysight E1366A is a dual 1×4 RF multiplexer module delivering independent signal routing across two 50 Ohm banks within a single VXIbus/VMEbus B-size slot. Each bank includes four channels and one common terminal, enabling flexible test signal distribution to oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, and RF measurement instruments up to 1.3 GHz.
