Keysight Instrument Rack E7950A-1.3m E3661B-1.6m E3662B-2.0

Description

Description

The Keysight 19-inch Electronics Industries Association (EIA) racks, options,  and 

accessories are designed specifically to meet the needs of instrumentation 

customers and make installing devices in rack mounting systems simple.
The instrument racks consist of a welded, cold-rolled steel frame with  removable 

top, sides, and rear door, casters, leveling feet and an anti-tipping  mechanism as 

shown in Figure 1. Internally, rails that hold your equipment  lock into slots in the 

vertical mounting columns. These plus keyed slots provide  for quick and 

accurate placement.

Electrical and Environmental Specifications

The electrical and environmental specifications for the instrument racks, shown 

in the table below, depend on the power distribution unit (PDU) option  selected:
Option AW1:No PDU
Option AW3:100-120V, 50/60 Hz PDU Option AW5:200-240V, 50/60 Hz PDU
