10 MHz Reference IN/OUT

10 MHz Reference Input  When a 10 MHz external reference signal is detected at this port, it will be used as the instrument frequency reference instead of the internal frequency reference.

10 MHz Reference Output  This BNC(f) connector outputs a frequency reference signal for use by other test equipment.

USB Hub

This USB hub contains two SuperSpeed USB ports to power your VNA peripherals. There is also one USB port below the LAN connector and four USB ports on the front panel.

Limitation: The total power consumption for all eight USB ports is limited to 4.0 amps. If this limit is exceeded, all USB ports are disabled until a device is removed and power consumption falls below the limit. When first connected, Keysight ECal modules 8509x and N4431 draw significantly more current than other modules. See Specifications.

See Important First-time USB connection note.
