Frequently Asked Questions
- What wavelength range and applications does the Yokogawa AQ6360 cover?
- The AQ6360 performs optical spectrum analysis across 1200–1650 nm, covering the critical C-band and L-band windows used in dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) networks. This instrument delivers high resolution and dynamic range for WDM network testing, optical component characterization, and fiber-optic signal verification. The extended near-infrared range makes it ideal for telecom and cable operators evaluating multi-channel optical systems.
- What condition is this used AQ6360 in, and what has been verified?
- We source and inspect each used AQ6360 to confirm functional operation and measurement accuracy across its specified wavelength range. While this unit is in used condition, we verify core display and optical path functionality before listing. For laboratory-grade measurement assurance, calibration services are available separately, starting at $450.
- What does calibration cover for the AQ6360, and what is the cost and turnaround?
- Calibration services for the AQ6360 verify wavelength accuracy, power measurement linearity, and dynamic range performance to manufacturer standards. Our calibration packages start at $450 and include a certificate of traceability; specific turnaround depends on service tier selected at checkout. We recommend calibration if the unit will be used for production testing or network validation where measurement confidence is critical.
- What interfaces and control options does the AQ6360 support?
- The AQ6360 features GPIB (IEEE-488) connectivity for remote instrument control and automated measurement routines, enabling integration into test racks and software-driven workflows. The instrument supports manufacturer-supplied drivers and command sets for common test software platforms used in fiber-optic labs. Verify your specific control requirements with our sales team, as interface compatibility depends on your test system architecture.
