The HP/Agilent 81000PA is a threaded connector adapter that enables E-2000 optical interface compatibility with HP/Agilent/Keysight optical heads. This adapter provides secure, signal-integrity-critical connections for fiber optic testing and measurement applications, supporting both UPC and APC E-2000 connector variants.
Technical Specifications
• Connector Type: E-2000
• Mounting: Threaded head adapter
• Ferrule Compatibility: UPC and APC E-2000 connectors
• Insertion Loss (E-2000 standard): Approximately 0.1 dB
• Return Loss (E-2000 standard): High return loss per E-2000 specification
– Key Features
• Push-pull locking mechanism for secure connection
• Automatic shutter system for dust and laser protection
• Threaded interface design for 815xx and 816xx optical head integration
• Compatible with 81624DD D-shape adapter for use with select 816xx receptacles
– Typical Applications
The 81000PA serves optical power measurement, signal analysis, and general fiber optic testing in laboratory and field environments. Applications requiring high signal integrity benefit from the E-2000 connector’s inherent design robustness and locking reliability.
– Compatibility & Integration
Designed for HP/Agilent/Keysight 815xxx series optical heads as a direct threaded adapter. For 816xx series optical heads, compatibility is typically achieved through the threaded 81000PA configuration; certain 816xx models may alternatively utilize plug-in D-shape adapters. The 81000PA threads directly onto compatible 815xx and 816xx receptacles, eliminating the need for intermediate adapters on most platforms.
