The Agilent 83494A Module Opt 106 is a single-mode clock recovery plug-in module for the 86100A mainframe that derives timing references directly from optical signals under test. This module recovers clock and regenerates data from SONET/SDH and Gigabit Ethernet transmission rates up to 10 Gb/s, delivering exceptional jitter performance for precise eye diagram and waveform analysis. Option 106 enables testing at data rates including 155 Mb/s, 622 Mb/s, 2488 Mb/s, 2666 Mb/s, and 10664 Mb/s.
Technical Specifications
