Used AGILENT / HP / HEWLETT-PACKARD / KEYSIGHT 8483A #9183688 for sale

AGILENT / HP / HEWLETT-PACKARD / KEYSIGHT 8483A is a direct-reading automatic reflectometer that measures electrical and optical characteristics of samples from 800 nm (nanometers) to 1700 nm. HP 8483A offers precision and accuracy in optical connectivity measurements and a range of functional options, making it ideal for the production and engineering laboratory environments. AGILENT 8483A comes with a variety of useful tools such as its diode laser calibration mode which helps minimize measurement error caused by temperature changes, as well as an enhanced display which makes the measurement of optical reflectivity easier and more accurate. KEYSIGHT 8483A is designed with a wide dynamic range for both reflectance and transmittance measurements, with an accuracy of ±0.2 dB and a maximum range of 0 to 105 dB. In addition, this instrument can measure up to 300 Hz modulation frequency for WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) applications and can also measure absorption at up to 1,340 nm, ideal for one-wavelength systems. The main features of 8483A include a standard 8-port multi-mode optical fiber adapter, a built-in temperature-controlled laser diode source with a 0.2 dB accuracy, a polarization-independent optical power meter, a comprehensive trace measurement and analysis software, and a range of controllers for controlling and storing measurement data. HEWLETT-PACKARD 8483A also offers a range of important safety measures such as the use of eye safe laser sources, connector coverings and back-surface shielding to prevent accidental eye exposure to potentially hazardous lasers and surfaces. AGILENT / HP / HEWLETT-PACKARD / KEYSIGHT 8483A is a robust device with an intuitive interface and a range of functions for both the experienced and novice user. This makes it well suited for the production line, research, and development of optical components. HP 8483A test set is of course limited by its inability to measure across multiple wavelengths, but its precision and accuracy in measurements, it's wide dynamic range and a range of features makes it an excellent choice for many applications.
