Used AGILENT / HP / HEWLETT-PACKARD / KEYSIGHT 8163B #9174376 for sale

AGILENT / HP / HEWLETT-PACKARD / KEYSIGHT 8163B lightwave multimeter is a modern wavelength division multiplexer equipment that is designed to measure lightwave signals in the optical communications spectrum. This highly accurate and versatile instrument can be used to identify a variety of optical signals, analyze their characteristics, and identify components in complex systems. HP 8163B also provides full control over several key parameters, allowing a user to make precise measurements. AGILENT 8163B is intended for optical network research, applications development, and fault diagnosis on optical systems. It is designed for use by engineers and technicians involved in research, engineering, and network operations activities as well as field service. The system measures the spectral power, optical noise figure, and group delay of light signals across an optical communication unit. KEYSIGHT 8163B consists of one main instrument, plus three base components that are modularly located within the main instrument: a wavelength-division multiplexer (WDM) filter, an optical coupler, and an optical power meter. The WDM filter provides high-resolution measurements across the entire optical communications spectrum that spans from single-mode (i.e., single-frequency) wavelengths to multi-mode (i.e., multi-frequency) wavelengths. The optical coupler can be switched between various coupling ratios, allowing for optimum responses when testing multiple fiber types. The optical power meter allows measurements of the total power of the optical signal, as well as losses due to the machine's configuration. 8163B has an intuitive keypad and LCD graphical display that allow users to easily access the instrument's measurements and calibrations. The measuring capabilities of the instrument include power measurement, spectral power density, wavelength, and group delay measurement. Additionally, HEWLETT-PACKARD 8163B includes a spectral power density tracking and identification feature, which allows for efficient search and sorting of individual wavelengths. AGILENT / HP / HEWLETT-PACKARD / KEYSIGHT 8163B is designed to provide reliable power measurements with a maximum uncertainty of 1 dB. It is also designed to provide measurement accuracy and stability over a wide dynamic range and over ambient temperature variations. The instrument is housed in a 2U-high rack-mount chassis with 19-inch rack mountable instruments and components. This makes HP 8163B suitable for rugged outdoor and industrial environments. Additionally, AGILENT 8163B is compatible with a variety of test and measurement software packages, which allow for remote control applications and data logging functions. Its comprehensive set of external ports and SFPs also make KEYSIGHT 8163B suitable for use with a variety of optical components. Overall, 8163B lightwave multimeter is a powerful and versatile instrument that provides researchers, engineers, and network technicians with precise measurements of lightwave signals across the optical communications spectrum.
