The Agilent Omniber 720 J1407A Communication Analyzer is a field-portable SONET/SDH tester for installation, maintenance, commissioning, and system verification of high-speed optical transmission systems. It performs multi-rate transmission testing and bit error rate (BER) analysis on optical tributaries up to 2.5 Gb/s (OC-48/STM-16), supporting both field and laboratory applications.
