power levels 18 dBm on the optical channel or 10 dBm on the
electrical channel. To prevent input damage, this specified level must not be
exceeded.
Measurement accuracy—it’s up to you!
Fiber-optic connectors are easily damaged when connected to dirty or damaged cables
and accessories. The Agilent 83482A’s front-panel INPUT connector is no exception.
When you use improper cleaning and handling techniques, you risk expensive instru-
ment repairs, damaged cables, and compromised measurements.
Before you connect any fiber-optic cable to the Agilent 83482A, “Cleaning Connections
for Accurate Measurements” on page 5-7.
