INTRODUCTION
This manual describes the Model V255 Ul-
tra-Wideband Bias Tee (Figure 1). It provides speci-
fications and a list of precautions the user should ob-
serve when using this device.

DESCRIPTION
The V255 Gen II Ultra-Wideband Bias Tee is de-
signed to meet the high electrical performance re-
quirement of passive components in optical commu-
nication networks. Given a broader bandwidth of
50 kHz to 65 GHz, with low insertion losses and very
good return loss, makes it ideal to use in 40 Gbps
systems to bias optical modulators and broad band
data drivers. It’s fast rise time and flat group delay
performance allows extremely accurate measure-
ments within a laboratory environment. The V255
Bias Tee comes with a standard V Connector® that
assures excellent impedance match across the avail-
able wide bandwidth. The DC signal can be applied
or extracted from the bias tee through an SMC con-
nector at the third port. As with our other bias tees,
the V255 also has a one-year warranty.

PRECAUTIONS
ANRITSU V255 Bias Tee is a high-quality, precision
laboratory device and should receive the same care
and respect afforded other such components. Com-
plying with the following precautionary notes will
guarantee longer component life and less equipment
downtime due to connector failure. Also, such com-
pliance will ensure that RF component failures are
not due to misuse or abuse—two failure modes not
covered under the ANRITSU warranty.
a. Beware of Destructive Pin Depth on Mating
Connectors.
Measure the pin depth of the con-
nector that mates with the RF component, before
mating. Use an ANRITSU Pin Depth Gauge
(Figure 2) or equivalent. Based on RF compo-
