FCA6 Product Information


Description:
The FCA6 is a 6 pair Fibre Channel probe designed to work with a logic analyzer to capture and disassemble Fibre Channel Data. It demultiplexes the stream to a 32 bit stream at a much lower rate (55 MHz).

The FCA6 was designed to operate with the Tektronix TLA 6xx and 7xx series of logic analyzers. A software package supplied with the unit enables disassembly of the captured stream directly on the Tektronix logic analyzer.
