The Keysight/Agilent/HP E4805-61601 is a clock distribution cable engineered to deliver precise timing synchronization across complex test setups. It maintains signal integrity and minimizes jitter in high-speed digital measurement environments, particularly within bit error ratio (BER) testing platforms. The cable ensures reliable clock signal distribution between modules and instruments, critical for accurate performance in automated test systems and serial data characterization.
## Technical Specifications
• **Connector:** SMA (female) 3.5 mm
• **Transition Time:** 500 ps typical (10%–90% amplitude); 350 ps typical (20%–80%)
• **Pulse Performance:** 50% of bit period and > 1 ns; with external analyzer clock, > 400 ps required
## Key Features
• Differential output capability for enhanced noise immunity
• Sub-350 ps transition times minimize timing uncertainty
• Low pulse aberration ensures fidelity across extended frequency ranges
• Jitter rejection specifications support high-speed serial characterization
## Typical Applications
• Multiplexer/demultiplexer testing
• SerDes (serializer/deserializer) device validation
• Telecom and storage area network (SAN) IC characterization
• Multi-channel transmitter and receiver manufacturing test
• Amplifier performance validation
• 10GbE and forward error correction (FEC) device testing
• High-speed IC-tester channel extension
## Compatibility & Integration
Designed for the Keysight/Agilent/HP 81200 Data Generator/Analyzer and 81250 Parallel BER platforms. Compatible with central clock modules (HP E4805A 660 MHz), front-end generator modules (E4864A, E4865A, E4862B, E4862A), and data ParBERT modules (E4832A, E4861A). Works with trigger pods (E4805-61610) and supports multi-module configurations.
