Keysight to Demo 1.6T Interconnect Tests at electronica

Keysight Technologies will exhibit at electronica 2026 in Munich, Germany, from November 10-13, 2026, at Hall A4, Stand 506. The company plans demonstrations spanning AI infrastructure validation, 1.6-terabit interconnect testing, and cyber resilience compliance.

Why it matters

The demonstrations focus on validating high-speed data links and power systems that underpin AI data centres, a growing area of semiconductor and electronics testing. Showing these capabilities at a major European trade fair signals how test vendors are adapting to faster interconnect standards.

Keysight will demonstrate validation of 1.6-terabit optical and electrical interconnects and measurement of 100G and 200G per lane speeds. The source does not specify the performance thresholds or pass criteria for these demonstrations.
