Keysight/Agilent N2282A 1x8 Optical Multiplexer Module
The N2282A 1x8 Optical Multiplexer Module by Keysight is an SC/APC switching unit. It supports controlled signal routing across 8 output paths. It is designed for 1270 nm to 1670 nm operation in precision fiber-optic test environments. The module provides low insertion loss of 0.5 dB for efficient optical path management. Its stability rating of ±0.02 dB supports consistent measurements during extended automated test sequences.
The repeatability specification of ±0.005 dB or ±0.01 dB helps maintain dependable switching performance. The mux unit uses SC or APC connectivity for angled physical contact fiber interfaces. This connector format helps support stable coupling where return loss control is important.
The multiplexer unit uses a 250 ms switching time for fast channel selection during automated operation. It is built for visual signal interchanging within hybrid electrical and optical test systems. The N2282A optical mux unit supports modular expansion for changing application requirements. Users can configure an ATE system with the required optical switching capacity today. Additional optical channels can be added later as the test workload grows. The 1x8 architecture allows one optical input to be routed across 8 selectable channels. This configuration is suitable for test setups requiring sequential device or path selection. It helps reduce manual fiber reconnection in repeatable production workflows during testing.
The 1x8 optical multiplexer unit is suitable for SONET and SDH test applications. It supports optical routing tasks used during transmission equipment validation and network element testing. The module also fits OADM test setups that require controlled wavelength path selection. The fiber-optical component testing benefits from the module’s stable and repeatable switching behavior specification. It can route measurement signals through multiple devices or test points reliably.
The Keysight multiplexer unit can be used where several optical sources or paths need controlled selection. This function helps organize complex measurement setups using a modular switching framework effectively. Two channels in different modules can be synchronously switched using the CARD PAIR command. This function supports coordinated switching between separate optical elements in the same system. It is useful when paired visual paths must change state together during testing.
