The Keysight (Agilent) Lightwave Multimeter Mainframe is a high-precision platform for optical measurements, supporting a wide range of fiber optic parameters with modular adaptability. It accommodates all 815XX plug-in modules, including power sensors, sources, and return loss options, enabling customizable configurations. The unit delivers ±2.2% absolute power accuracy across a 450–1700 nm wavelength range, with a power range of +27 dBm to -110 dBm. It offers excellent laser source stability (±0.003 dB), a minimum averaging time of 20 ms, and supports 500 stored measurements per channel. With dual channels, selectable data averaging and acquisition times, and high-resolution measurements down to 0.001 dBm or 0.01 pW, it ensures superior repeatability and traceability.
Ideal for R&D, telecom, and lab applications, the HP 8153A is a scalable solution for evolving fiber test demands.
Testwall can supply the used The Keysight (Agilent), fully tested. With expert support and global delivery, Testwall ensures high-performance instrumentation with unmatched reliability and service quality. Please contact us directly if you need calibration or repair of the HP 8153A.
