Agilent/Keysight N7734A Multiport Optical Power Meter

The Keysight N7734A is a versatile 1×13 optical switch designed for efficient and reliable routing of optical signals in test and measurement applications. It is available for both single-mode and multimode fiber test applications, offering excellent repeatability, a compact form factor, and flexible control interfacing suitable for high-performance automated setups. The multimode version exhibits excellent mode fidelity, ensuring signal integrity during testing. This instrument is crucial for automated procedures, eliminating the need for repeated manual reconnections and ensuring signal level constancy across switching cycles. Its low insertion loss and polarization-dependent loss, combined with high repeatability, minimize its impact on measurement accuracy. The N7734A can optimize the use of valuable signal source and analysis instrumentation by enabling parallel test configurations, allowing for the simultaneous testing of multiple devices or components, which is particularly beneficial for scenarios like temperature cycling or testing high-speed optical interconnections.
