Optical clock recovery module

Product OverviewThe Agilent 83493A is a single-mode optical clock recovery module designed for the Agilent 83480A and 86100 series Digital Communications Analyzers (DCA). It extracts a clean clock signal from high-speed optical data streams without requiring an external trigger, enabling accurate timing analysis and eye diagram measurements.Key FeaturesOptical InterfaceFiber type: 9/125 μm single-mode fiberWavelength range: 1200–1600 nm (characteristic: 1000–1600 nm)Optical input connector: FC/PCOptical insertion loss (through path): ≤ 1.5 dBOptical return loss: ≥ 28 dBData Rates Supported (NRZ Coding)Supports five key optical data rates:155.52 Mb/s (SDH/SONET OC-3/STM-1)622.08 Mb/s (SDH/SONET OC-12/STM-4)1250 Mb/s (Gigabit Ethernet)2488.32 Mb/s (SDH/SONET OC-48/STM-16)2500.00 Mb/sPhase-Locked Loop (PLL) BandwidthInternal path triggering: 50 to 70 kHzExternal output: 4 to 5 MHzInput Power RangeOperating input power: –20 dBm to +3 dBmMaximum continuous power before damage: 10 mW peakOutput SignalsDATA and CLOCK output amplitude: 0.5 Vp-pDATA and CLOCK output electrical return loss: ≥ 10 dB (50 MHz–2500 MHz)Output JitterOutput jitter: < 0.0125 UI RMSBuilt-in ArchitectureIntegrated coupler/splitter – reduces external hardware required for triggeringNo external trigger cable needed – simply plug in the test signal, select the data rate, and start measuringCompatibilityDesigned for Agilent 83480A and 86100 series DCA mainframes (86100A/B/C/D)
