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.

Bandwidth
Bandwidth is the difference between the upper and lower frequencies in a contiguous set of frequencies within which a fiber optic component, link or network will operate.

Extinction Ratio (ER)
Extinction Ratio is the ratio of two optical power levels, of a digital signal generated by an optical source, (example a laser diode), where P1 is the optical power level generated when the light source is "on," and P0 is the power level generated when the light source is "off." The extinction ratio may be expressed as a fraction, in dB, or as a percentage.

Optical Signal-to-noise Ratio (OSNR)
Optical Signal-to-noise ratio is the ratio between the signal power and the noise power in a given bandwidth. Most commonly a reference bandwidth of 0.1 nm is used. This bandwidth is independent from the modulation format, the frequency and the receiver. For instance a OSNR of 20dB/0.1nm could be given, even the signal of 40 GBit DPSK would not fit in this bandwidth. OSNR is measured with a Optical Spectrum Analyzer. It is generally measured at the wavelength of interest.

Repeatability
Repeatability is the variation in a number of repeated measured quantities when measurement conditions are changed and restored. The value corresponds to half the spread between the minimum and maximum value measured.

Wavelength Repeatability
Wavelength Repeatability is the random uncertainty in reproducing a wavelength after detuning and re-setting the wavelength. The wavelength repeatability is ± half the span between the maximum and the minimum value of all actual values of these wavelengths. Example test condition: uninterrupted TLS output power, constant power level, temperature within operating temperature range, coherence control off, short time span. Note: NOTE The long-term wavelength repeatability can be obtained by taken the wavelength repeatability and wavelength stability into account.
