HP / Agilent 81567A Used HP / Agilent 81567A Variable Optical Attenuator Modules

This unit

The HP/Agilent 81567A is a dual-slot variable optical attenuator module that delivers precise attenuation control across the 1200–1700 nm wavelength range. Engineered for integration into Agilent's Lightwave Multichannel platform, this module combines wide dynamic range attenuation (0–60 dB) with sub-millidecibel resolution and exceptional repeatability. An internal photodiode and monitor tap enable active power control, maintaining stable output levels despite input power variations.

The integrated shutter provides channel drop simulation and optical isolation up to 100 dB, while single-mode fiber compatibility and low insertion loss (typically 2.2 dB) ensure minimal signal degradation in telecommunications and data communications test environments. Settles in 100–300 ms with ±0.01 dB repeatability and ±0.1 dB accuracy across the full attenuation range.

HP / Agilent 81567A — Repair & Calibration Service

Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the HP / Agilent 81567A. Calibration covers attenuation accuracy at 5 or more set values across the full range (0 to rated maximum dB), attenuation linearity, wavelength-dependent attenuation at 1310 nm, 1490 nm, and 1550 nm, insertion loss at minimum attenuation (0 dB position), and polarization-dependent loss (PDL) where applicable. All calibrations ship with a NIST-traceable certificate. Turnaround is typically 1–3 business days after receipt.

Common HP / Agilent 81567A faults: motor and gear mechanism wear (attenuation steps or loss of smooth control), optical port contamination, EEPROM calibration data corruption. Most common faults are motor or gear mechanism wear on variable attenuators causing attenuation steps or loss of smooth control, optical port contamination reducing dynamic range, and EEPROM calibration data corruption on digitally controlled models.

HP / Agilent 81567A calibration cost

NIST-traceable calibration for the HP / Agilent 81567A is $450 (standard — pass/fail certificate and calibration sticker) or $650 (full measured data at every test point, reference standards documented, traceability chain included). Calibration for this instrument covers attenuation accuracy at 5 or more set values across the full range (0 to rated maximum dB), attenuation linearity, wavelength-dependent attenuation at 1310 nm, 1490 nm, and 1550 nm, insertion loss at minimum attenuation (0 dB position), and polarization-dependent loss (PDL) where applicable. Turnaround is 1 to 3 business days after receipt. See full calibration details →
