The VN5601 and VN5601A are very compact and high‑performance USB‑to‑Ethernet adapters for standard IEEE 1000BASE‑T and IEEE 2.5GBASE‑T.
They enable easy connection of Ethernet‑based Vector products to the computer and provide precise time synchronization via IEEE 1588 (PTP).
Highlights
- Compact USB adapter: Handy form factor ideally suited for portable use.
- Easy PC connection: Direct connection of Ethernet‑based Vector products to the computer.
- Independent of Windows network infrastructure: Operation without affecting Windows network settings.
- Precise time base: Hardware time stamps and synchronization via IEEE 1588 (PTP).
- Logger connectivity: Reception of ASAM Capture Module Protocol (CMP) data streams for further analysis.
Main Application Areas
Connection of further Vector products
- Easy connection of Vector products with Ethernet interface, such as VN5240, VX1135, VX1161 or CSM modules.
The adapters provide precise time synchronization via PTP and operate independently of the Windows network infrastructure.
Compatibility with logging standards
- The integrated USB adapter function can be used to receive ASAM Capture Module Protocol (CMP) data streams from loggers.
These data streams can be used directly for further analysis.
