The Keysight/Agilent/HP 81000AI is a Diamond HMS-10 connector interface adapter that enables optical test equipment to accept Diamond HMS-10 terminated fibers. This specialized interface delivers precise fiber alignment and signal integrity for high-performance optical testing and measurement applications where repeatability and minimal signal degradation are critical.
## Technical Specifications
The 81000AI belongs to the Keysight 81000 Series Connector Interfaces and features a 14mm threaded ring with a 2.5mm metal-jacketed fiber ferrule. This physical design establishes the mechanical foundation for optical connections across compatible test and measurement platforms.
## Key Features
• Precise fiber alignment geometry for repeatable connections
• Minimized insertion loss and optical reflection performance
• Metal-jacketed ferrule construction for durability and alignment stability
• Threaded connector ring interface (14mm)
• Designed for accurate optical signal transfer in critical measurement scenarios
## Typical Applications
The 81000AI addresses high-performance optical testing requirements including fiber characterization, signal integrity verification, and precision optical measurements where connection repeatability directly impacts measurement accuracy. Systems requiring controlled insertion loss and reflection characteristics benefit from this interface’s alignment architecture.
## Compatibility & Integration
The 81000AI integrates with Keysight, Agilent, and HP optical test and measurement instruments equipped with 81000AI receptacles or those accepting the broader 81000xI series adapter family. Compatibility verification with specific instrument models is recommended prior to deployment.
