The Keysight/Agilent/HP 81000PA is an E-2000 connector adapter that enables direct integration of E-2000 terminated fiber optic cables with compatible Keysight optical measurement heads. This adapter bridges E-2000 connector interfaces to 5mm optical heads in the 815xxx and 816xxx series, supporting both UPC and APC connector polishes. The E-2000 connector features a spring-loaded metal protection shutter for laser-eye and dust protection, making it suitable for precision optical testing environments.
