The Agilent 8156A Option 100 is a high‑precision, rackable optical attenuator mainframe configured for single‑mode operation with a 60 dB attenuation range, 0.001 dB resolution, and standard return‑loss performance (≈35 dB); it supports telecom wavelengths across 1200 nm–1650 nm and offers remote control via GPIB/HP‑IB. Overview The 8156A is a modular, programmable optical attenuator designed for R&D and production test of single‑mode and multimode fiber systems. The mainframe accepts removable connector interfaces (Agilent 81000xI series) and can be fitted with options that change return‑loss, monitor outputs, and connector types. Option 100 is the standard single‑mode configuration with straight contact (PC) connectors and standard return‑loss performance.
