IEEE 802.3 Compliance Switch Control
The IEEE 802.3 Compliance Switch Control license enables the use of Keysight’s U3020AS26 switching test set with the following compliance and debug applications:
- N1081A-1FP, IEEE 802.3ap/ba, Clauses 72,84
- N1082A-1FP, IEEE 802.3ba, Clauses 83A,83B,86A
- N1082A-4FP, IEEE 802.3bm-2015 CAUI-4 Measurements
- N1083A-1FP, IEEE 802.3ba, Clause 85
- N1084A-1FP, IEEE 802.3bj, Clauses 92,93
The Keysight U3020AS26 is a switch matrix that consists of two single-pole-six-throw (SP6T) switches. It allows switching of multiple signal paths without the user physically changing the connections. This allows multiple tests to be performed with the same setup, eliminating the need for frequent connects and disconnects. An entire testing process can be automated, increasing the throughput in high-volume production environments.
