The Keysight N6700C is a low-profile, 1U modular power system mainframe engineered for automated test equipment and R&D applications requiring flexible, configurable DC power delivery. With 400 W total output capacity and four module slots, it accommodates any combination of N6700 series DC power modules, electronic load modules, and Source Measure Units (SMUs) to tailor system performance and cost to specific test requirements. The mainframe intelligently manages power allocation across installed modules even when their combined ratings exceed total system capacity.
