The Keysight N1075A Optical Pick-Off / Converter couples a portion of an optical signal and converts it to an electrical signal for analysis with Keysight test instruments. This optical-to-electrical converter enables high-speed signal characterization across telecommunications, data communications, and digital environments where precise optical waveform measurement is essential. The N1075A operates as a standalone module or as a core component of the N1070A Optical Clock Data Recovery Solution, providing direct access to live optical data streams for transceiver debugging and validation.
