Agilent Technologies Inc. this week at OFC/NFOEC introduced new measurement capabilities for manufacturers to use when building infrastructure that supports triple-play services.
The Agilent 86038B optical dispersion analyzer, the OmniBER communications performance analyzer with resilient packet ring (RPR) and the 83496A optical/electrical clock recovery module for 8X Fibre Channel test provide measurement capabilities for designing and testing optical components, electronic devices and communications protocols.
Agilent says component and system manufacturers can accelerate deployment of high-speed communications and computer devices, elements, systems and services, and improve business results by using its measurement devices early in the development processes.
The Agilent 86038B optical dispersion analyzer measures optical fiber, components and subsystems, providing up to 100 times better measurement speed and significant accuracy improvements than earlier models.
The 86038B features high-throughput manufacturing testing, and accurate design verification of photonic devices and specialty fiber, enabling high-bandwidth networks at a reduced capital investment, Agilent says.
The Agilent 83496A multi-rate optical/electrical clock recovery module offers multi-rate testing over a wide range of wavelengths.
Similarly, the 86105C optical/electrical module provides characterization of all common and emerging data rates up to 11.3Gbs.
The Agilent OmniBER communications performance analyzer enables faster deployment of triple-play services in metro networks.
The OmniBER offers RPR, generic framing procedure, virtual concatenation, Ethernet payload, and Link Capacity Adjustment Scheme measurement capabilities in one instrument.
