Agilent N7752A Integrated Two Channel Variable Optical Attenuator with two Optical Power Meter Channels

Model:N7752A

Manufactured by: Keysight / Agilent

Category:Optical attenuators

Keysight / Agilent N7752A - Optical attenuators

Keysight / Agilent N7752A Overview

The Agilent N7752A combines an attenuator with 2 front-panel power meter channels, offering exceptional performance at a low price. The power meters permit measurements from any point in the measurements setup and assist in calibrating power offsets with respect to the attenuator output.

Extension of N77xx-series

The N7752A attenuator is an extension to Agilent''s high density N77xx-family that establishes a new standard in space-saving fiberoptic instrumentation.

Features and Benefits

  • Compact instrument combines and integrates multiple functions for setting attenuation and power levels and optical power measurement to reduce CAPEX and floor space.
  • Fast and precise setting of optical power levels with settling times of 100 ms for improved test throughput.
  • The power meters support convenient power offset calibration of the attenuators.
  • Active power control to keep output power constant
  • The multichannel attenuator sets and measures several ports at the same time and saves significant time characterizing multiport and multichannel components and network equipments.
  • The instrument can be controlled via LAN and USB, as well as GPIB for compatibility with existing equipment.
  • An easy-to-use and intuitive graphical user interface software speeds up the integration process.
