Exfo IQS-2600 Tunable Laser Source Module

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Exfo IQS-2600CT tunable laser source module do?

The IQS-2600CT is a tunable laser source module designed for optical spectrum analysis and wavelength-dependent testing across the C-band and L-band regions. It delivers narrow linewidth output with fine wavelength tuning resolution, making it essential for characterizing optical components, fiber systems, and WDM equipment. The module integrates into Exfo's optical test platforms to enable precise spectral measurements and device validation in telecom and data-center environments.

What is the condition of this used Exfo IQS-2600CT, and what was tested?

This unit is offered in used condition and has been functionally verified for basic operational status prior to listing. We recommend obtaining a full calibration certification to ensure measurement accuracy meets your application requirements; this service is available separately. All visual inspection and connectivity checks have been completed to confirm the module powers on and responds to commands.

What calibration services are available for the IQS-2600CT?

Calibration for the Exfo IQS-2600CT is available separately, starting at $450, and covers wavelength accuracy, output power linearity, and tuning range verification against traceable standards. Turnaround time and specific calibration scope should be confirmed at the time of service request. A calibration certificate documenting traceability to NIST standards will be provided upon completion.

What interfaces and software compatibility does the IQS-2600CT support?

The IQS-2600CT module connects via GPIB (IEEE 488.2) and Ethernet/LAN interfaces for remote control and integration into automated test systems. It is compatible with Exfo's IQS optical test platform software and third-party SCPI-based control applications that support standard instrument commands. USB connectivity and driver availability should be verified with our technical team based on your specific system architecture.
