Product Details
Key Benefits
High Accuracy: The high RL dynamic range (>75 dB) provides the most accurate measurement of RL and IL up to 75 dB using the built-in sources, enabling better product specifications.
Versatile: One test setup can be used for DUTs in all transmission bands.
Stability: The built-in power monitor and laser source deliver RL measurements with the highest stability and accuracy.
Less Referencing: The built-in power monitor compensates for power variations of the external light source, requiring less frequent referencing.
Easy to Use: The built-in RTL-wizard simplifies accurate calibration and measurement. Factory calibrated parameters let you start measuring return loss instantly.
Automation Ready: Automated use is supported by the 816x Plug&Play Driver, which also supports advanced swept-wavelength RL measurements.
Additional Information
Compatibility: Works with any 816x Lightwave mainframe.
Simultaneous Measurements: When combined with a power sensor in the 8163B mainframe (especially with the 81610CC calibrated reference cable), it enables simultaneous RL and insertion loss (IL) measurements.
Product Status: Discontinued / Currently Supported by Keysight (formerly Agilent T&M).
