This unit
The Exfo IQ-203-A3N4X2 is an optical test system control unit that is the core processing platform for the IQ-200 Optical Test System. It houses the main processor, up to three plug-in test modules, and enables comprehensive fiber optic testing and analysis through a standard PC architecture. The modular design scales to accommodate up to four IQ-206 Expansion Units for interconnection of up to 27 optical modules, supporting measurements including insertion loss, return loss, chromatic dispersion, and PMD analysis.

Exfo IQ-203-A3N4X2 — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Exfo IQ-203-A3N4X2. Calibration covers analog input channel accuracy and offset at all gain settings, analog output accuracy, digital I/O logic threshold verification, sample rate and timing accuracy, and trigger and synchronization bus functional verification. NI CompactRIO and PXI chassis also undergo backplane trigger line integrity check.. All calibrations ship with a NIST-traceable certificate. Turnaround is typically 1–3 business days after receipt.
Common Exfo IQ-203-A3N4X2 faults: power supply failure (cRIO-9073/9074), C-series slot connector wear, PXI chassis fan failure, GPIB interface failure on VXI controllers, BIOS/EEPROM corruption. NI CompactRIO most common faults are power supply failure on older cRIO-9073/9074 chassis and C-series module slot connector wear from repeated hot-swap cycles. PXI chassis fan failure is the most common wear item — chassis fans are field-replaceable. VXI embedded controllers most commonly develop EEPROM corruption and GPIB interface failure.
Exfo IQ-203-A3N4X2 price
This Exfo IQ-203-A3N4X2 is listed at $1,850. Calibration is available separately from $450. Contact us for volume pricing or if you need multiple units.
Exfo IQ-203-A3N4X2 calibration cost
NIST-traceable calibration for the Exfo IQ-203-A3N4X2 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 analog input channel accuracy and offset at all gain settings, analog output accuracy, digital I/O logic threshold verification, sample rate and timing accuracy, and trigger and synchronization bus functional verification. NI CompactRIO and PXI chassis also undergo backplane trigger line integrity check.. Turnaround is 1 to 3 business days after receipt. See full calibration details →
