The Yokogawa/Ando AQ-2105 is a 2-channel optical power meter mainframe engineered for precision measurement across optical communications, research, and field deployment. Its modular architecture accepts plug-in OPM units and sensor modules, enabling tailored configurations without custom integration. The instrument operates from standard AC outlets (100-127 V / 220-240 V) or dedicated DC input, making it suitable for laboratory benches and remote field locations alike. Data logging stores up to 1,500 measured values per channel, supporting production monitoring and long-term characterization studies.
