Optical attenuators and switches are used to control signal power and routing. Keysight's variable optical attenuators combine high performance with advanced functionality.
The new N7752C and N776-C family of variable optical attenuators enables highly efficient optical transceiver and network integration testing. The new attenuator generation sports an on-board graphical user interface for easy control without software installation, accessible via GbE LAN and USB 2.0 connections.
N7752C is a two-channel model for single-mode fiber equipped with two additional, independent optical power meters. It replaces its direct predecessor N7752A and N7751A, a product variant with a single attenuator and two power meters.
N7764C is a four-channel model for single mode fiber, and based, like N7752C, on electrically controlled variable optical attenuator (VOA) modules. N7764C replaces its predecessors N7764A, N7762A and N7761A, single-channel, two-channel and four-channel variable optical attenuators for single-mode fiber.
N7768C is a four-channel model for 50/125 µm multimode fiber, based on a miniature rotating filter design optimized to provide an insertion loss of typically only 1.6 dB including connectors. The attenuating filter is positioned in a collimated beam to maintain the same modal distribution across the entire attenuation range. N7768C replaces its predecessors N7768A and N7766A, four-channel and two-channel variable optical attenuators for multimode fiber.
The 8157xA-series modular attenuators are based on miniature bulk optical designs and are hosted in an 8163B Lightwave Multimeter or in an 8164B Lightwave Measurement System mainframe.
