Used AGILENT / HP / HEWLETT-PACKARD / KEYSIGHT 8156A #9257008 for sale

AGILENT / HP / HEWLETT-PACKARD / KEYSIGHT 8156A is an optical power meter manufactured and sold by HP Technologies (formerly AGILENT/KEYSIGHT Technologies). It is a compact and feature-rich power meter designed for manual and automated use in optical communication systems, optical networking systems, and many other applications that involve the measurement of optical power. It is especially well-suited for cabling and network installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting. HP 8156A is an optical power meter that measures absolute power over a wide range of optical wavelengths (850 nm to 1650 nm) and optical powers (-70 dBm to +10 dBm). Absolute power measurement is fundamental to accuracy in optical testing. It enables users to determine the actual power delivered by an optical source in a given environment without having to calibrate each time. AGILENT 8156A has a dynamic range of 90 dB, which allows measurements from very low to very high power levels. HEWLETT-PACKARD 8156A offers a rich feature set, including automatic attenuator control, a reference detector, a built-in laser diode source, a display for easy-to-interpret graphical data, as well as various communication ports (GPIB, RS232) for automated execution of commands./ It also includes a USB interface for modern PCs. In addition to absolute power measurements, 8156A also offers measurements of Relative and Average over Time power, as well as modulated power (AM, FM, PSTN, etc.), which can be used to assess system performance and look for anomalies in the signal spectrum. KEYSIGHT 8156A is a relatively compact instrument, with a maximum length of just 14.75 inches. It is an easy-to-use device, designed for manual and automated use, with a large backlit display to make data easy to read in poorly lit areas. Finally, AGILENT / HP / HEWLETT-PACKARD / KEYSIGHT 8156A offers exceptional accuracy and reliability. With its unique integrated design, the instrument is reliable for both measurement and long-term stability. This makes it a popular choice for use in mission-critical systems.
