Two-Channel Variable Optical Attenuator

The Agilent (now Keysight) N7762A variable optical attenuator offers exceptional performance at a low price.

The N7762A attenuator is an extension to Agilent’s (now Keysight) high density N77xx-family that establishes a new standard in space-saving fiberoptic instrumentation.

Compact instrument combines and integrates multiple functions for setting attenuation and power levels and controlling optical power to reduce CAPEX and floor space

Fast and precise setting of optical power levels with settling times of 100 ms for improved test throughput

Active power control to keep output power constant

The multichannel attenuator sets and controls several ports at the same time and saves significant time characterizing multiport and multichannel components and network equipment

The instrument can be controlled via LAN and USB, as well as GPIB for compatibility with existing equipment

An easy-to-use and intuitive graphical user interface speeds up the integration process

Settling time: 20 ms attenuation, 100ms power

0.1 to 1000 dB/s attenuation transition speed (selectable)

+23 dBm input power

≤ 1.2 dB insertion loss

Two attenuator channels in a one half-width rack unit

Fully compatible with programs developed using the Agilent 8157x and 8156x modular attenuators

Includes powerful and user-friendly GUI software

Two instrument configurations can be stored and recalled
