This unit
The Agilent/Keysight 81632A is an InGaAs optical head for precise optical power measurement across telecom and datacom wavelengths. It operates as a plug-in module within the 816x mainframe series, delivering high-accuracy power detection with fast signal processing and onboard data storage. The sensor achieves ±3% accuracy across the 1200 nm to 1630 nm band and supports standard single-mode and multimode fiber up to 62.5 µm core diameter.

Agilent / Keysight 81632A — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Agilent / Keysight 81632A. Calibration covers detector responsivity across all specified wavelengths (typically 800-1700 nm range), absolute power accuracy, and EEPROM calibration coefficient update. Compatible with Agilent/HP 8163A/B, 8164A/B, and 8166A/B mainframes.. All calibrations ship with a NIST-traceable certificate. Turnaround is typically 1–3 business days after receipt.
Common Agilent / Keysight 81632A faults: FC/PC connector damage, EEPROM failure (mainframe shows unrecognized sensor), reduced responsivity. Common faults include FC/PC input connector damage, EEPROM failure causing the module to appear unrecognized by the mainframe, and reduced detector responsivity from contamination.
