The Agilent N7762A variable optical attenuator offers exceptional performance at a low price.
Extension of N77xx-series
The N7762A 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 controlling optical power to reduce CAPEX and floor space.
Fast and precise setting of optical power levels with settling times of 100 ms for improved test throughput.
Active power control to keep output power constant
The multichannel attenuator sets and controls several ports at the same time and saves significant time characterizing multiport and multichannel components and network equipment.
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 speeds up the integration process.
