Overview
Introduction
The Keysight Technologies, Inc. Optical Extenders for Instruments can transmit your RF or Microwave signal without the
power loss of coaxial cables and undesired mixing products of down- conversion techniques—and with the isolation of fiber for
extended distances up to and beyond 1000 meters. Choose the combination of modules that best fits your requirements today
with the confidence that you can scale the solution to meet the requirements of tomorrow by taking advantage of the modular-
ity, scalability and upgradability of PXI.
