Agilent HP AGILENT 81570A 60 dB Variable Optical Attenuator M

The Agilent 81570A Variable Optical Attenuator plug-in module is an instrument that attenuates and controls the optical power level of light in single mode optical fibers. As plug-in modules for Agilent’s Lightwave Multichannel platform (8163A/B, 8164A/B, 8166A/B) they allow you to set the attenuation factor and/or power level manually, or remotely via a common computer interface. Their high accuracy combined with their flexibility make them ideal as test and measurement equipment for the modern telecommunication industry. The Agilent 81570A module features excellent wavelength flatness and can handle high input power levels. Combined with their low insertion loss, they are ideal for optical amplifer test, such as characterization of EDFAs and of Raman amplifiers, as well as for other multiwavelength applications, such as DWDM transmission system test.
