This unit
The Ando AQ-2715 is an optical power sensor module engineered for precise power measurements across the 750–1750 nm wavelength band. It delivers 0.01 dB resolution across its dynamic range, making it suitable for characterization and validation tasks in optical communication systems, fiber optic networks, and photonics laboratories. The module accepts FC/PC connectors and operates across two distinct measurement ranges to accommodate both weak and moderate power levels.
Units are functionally tested and available in used condition with varying cosmetic wear.
Technical Specifications
- Wavelength Range: 750–1750 nm
- Power Measurement Range: –90 to 0 dBm (at 1300 nm); –70 to +10 dBm
- Power Resolution: 0.01 dB
- Optical Interface: FC/PC
Key Features
- Dual measurement ranges accommodate both low-level and moderate power detection
- 0.01 dB resolution enables fine-grained power characterization
- FC/PC interface integrates directly into existing optical test benches
- Functionally validated; operational across full wavelength and power specifications
Typical Applications
- Optical link power budgeting and margin verification
- Fiber optic system characterization and troubleshooting
- Laboratory bench measurements for photonics research
- Telecommunications network commissioning and maintenance
- General-purpose optical power measurement in test environments
Compatibility & Integration The AQ-2715 integrates into measurement systems requiring direct optical power sensing in the near-infrared and short-wavelength infrared bands. Its FC/PC connector accommodates standard single-mode and multimode fiber patch cords. The module's measurement ranges and resolution suit both development work and field validation where power levels span weak signal detection through moderate optical powers.

Ando AQ-2715 — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Ando AQ-2715. 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 Ando AQ-2715 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.
