Fiber LAN tester
The N4376B lightwave component analyzer (LCA) tests 10-Gbit Ethernet and Fibre Channel LAN components at an 850-nm target wavelength. According to the company, testing multimode components at this wavelength with multimode conditions allows for optimized design of short-reach components, since there is no uncertainty from extrapolating measurement results at other wavelengths. Offering multimode launch conditions and modulation rates up to 20 GHz, this solution provides analysis for all fiber network component categories, including laser drivers, amplifiers, lasers, transmitters, optical modulators, photodiodes, and passive optical components. Linear transmission and reflection characteristic measurements are based on the company’s network analyzer technology, providing full S-parameter analysis with calibration down to the probing pins.
