Keysight (Agilent) 8146A Optical Time Domain Reflectometer Mainframe

The HP 8146A is a high-performance optical time domain reflectometer mainframe for installation, field maintenance, and bench applications. Plug-in modules are available for all common wavelengths and single and multimode fibers. Each module can be used as a high-resolution or long-range module (switch-selectable). In less than 7 seconds the HP 8146A will automatically characterize the link with up to 100 reflective and non-reflective events. For documentation purposes, the HP 8146A features an optional built-in printer, 3 1/2-inch floppy disk drive or a memory card reader. Horizontal Parameters; Start km: 0 km to 100 km. Span: 1 km to 200 km. Readout Resolution: 0.1 m, 0.0001 mi, 0.1 ft. Minimum Sample Spacing: 0.5 m. Distance Accuracy: ± 1.5 m for 850 nm. Refractive Index: 1.4000 to 1.6000. Length Unit: km, kft, or miles selectable. Measurement Points: 2000 to 4000, depending on selected measurement span and refractive index. Vertical Parameters; Vertical Scale: 0.20 to 5 dB/div. Readout Resolution : 0.001 dB. Linearity: 0.05 dB/dB typical. Reflectance Range: 20 dB to 60 dB. Reflectance Accuracy: ± 2 dB for reflectances between 20 dB and 40 dB (return loss mode, short-range, 100 ns pulse width). CW Mode (single-mode module); Output Power: > -5 dBm. Stability (15 min, T = constant): ± 0.01 dB after 10 min warmup. Pulse Width: selectable, 5/30/100/300 ns, 1/2/3/10 us, depending on module and distance range mode. Module Wavelengths: 850 ± 10 nm, 1300 ± 10 nm, 1310 ± 20 nm, 1550 ± 20 nm. Options. Opt 001, dc Input. Opt 002, Thermal Printer. Opt 003, 3 1/2-in Floppy Disk Drive. Opt 004, Memory Card Reader.

*This is a Web introductory price for one calibration of the Keysight (Agilent) 8146A. Price does not in most cases include measurement performance data. Pricing does include NIST traceable calibration and issue of a calibration certificate and calibration label. Pricing may vary slightly due to volume and location of laboratory supporting calibration. Volume pricing may apply. On-site fees may apply depending on logistics, location and volume of work to be completed during the visit.

Amplified Spontaneous Emission Source (ASE)
ASE, a process where spontaneously emitted radiation (luminescence) is amplified. In lasers and particularly in high-gain erbium-doped amplifiers, amplified spontaneous emission is usually an unwanted effect. It tends to limit the gain achievable in a single stage of a fiber optic amplifier to the order of 40–50 dB.

Dynamic Range
In a transmission system, the ratio of the overload level to the noise level of the system, usually expressed in dB. Ratio of the highest to lowest detectable signal of a system, expressed in dB.

Optical Power
Optical Power is usually measured in "dBm", or decibels referenced to one miliwatt of power. while loss is a relative reading, optical power is an absolute measurement, referenced to standards. You measure absolute power to test transmitters or receivers and relative power to test loss.

Relative Wavelength Accuracy
When randomly changing the wavelength and measuring the differences between the actual and displayed wavelengths, the relative wavelength accuracy is ± half the span between the maximum and the minimum value of all differences.

Wavelength
Wavelength is a term for the color of light, usually expressed in nanometers (nm) or microns (m). In Fiber Optics the wavelenghts mostly used are in the infrared region where the light is invisible to the human eye.
