Applications
Used for transmission line testing and maintenance in telecom network environments. Supported DS hierarchy signals (DS-1 through DS-3) for circuit characterization, error analysis, and performance verification. Commonly deployed in carrier facilities, central offices, and service provider test labs for line conditioning and troubleshooting digital circuits. GPIB interface enables integration into automated test systems and remote monitoring setups.
This Anritsu ME3401A Digital Transmission Analyzer powers on and is in good condition. The unit has Options 02, 03, 11, and 42 installed, as confirmed by the rear panel label. The front panel displays, controls, and built-in printer appear intact with no obvious damage. The chassis shows typical wear for a benchtop instrument of this age — minor scuffs and surface marks on the case — but the front panel labeling is legible and the connectors look clean. The rear GP-IB interface and input BNC/bantam connectors appear in good shape. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
