Product description
The Tektronix P6700 Series optical-to-electrical (O/E) converters change
optical signals into electrical signals for convenient analysis on Tektronix
DPO7000 and DPO/MSO70000 Series oscilloscopes with appropriate
adapters (see footnote 1 and 2), any other Tektronix oscilloscope equipped
with a TekProbe interface, or when used with the 1103 TekProbe power
supply. The P6700 Series O/E converters are ideal for optical source
characterization in the development, manufacture, or service of optical
communication systems and devices.
Small, conveniently packaged P6701B and P6703B optical-to-electrical
analog converters provide an accurate interface for optical pulse shape
measurements. The high gain, large dynamic range, and stable output
offset of these O/E converters make them ideal for performing eye pattern
analysis and extinction measurements.
The P6701B/P6703B optical input is a 1 meter, 62.5μ Multi Mode fiber with
an FC/PC connector. Using the standard assortment of hybrid fiber-optic
mating sleeves, these O/Es can accommodate the various industry
connector standards.
The TekProbe interface provides power, auto-scaling, auto-termination, and
correct units (microwatts) when used with Tektronix DPO7000 or DPO/
MSO70000 and earlier TekProbe-equipped Series oscilloscopes.
Performance you can count on
Depend on Tektronix to provide you with performance you can count on. In
addition to industry-leading service and support, this product comes backed
by a one-year warranty as standard.
The standard P6701B has a nominal frequency response which follows the
fourth-order Bessel-Thompson for Fibre Channel 1063 Mb/s. The
1103 TekProbe power supply can be used to connect these products to the
DSA8300 Series sampling oscilloscopes.
