Keysight N77xx Series
The tunable lasers are designed for use with FC connectors.
Lasers ordered with option 071 have straight connector interfaces.
Lasers ordered with option 072 have angled connector interfaces.
If the connectors on your attenuator or lasers are angled, you can only use cables
with angled connectors with the instrument.
If the connectors on your attenuator are straight, you can only use cables with
straight connectors with the instrument.
Figure 8 Angled and Straight Connector Symbols
The above figure shows the symbols that tell you whether the optical
connectors of your instrument are angled or straight. The angled
contact connector symbol is colored green.
You should connect straight contact fiber end connectors with neutral
sleeves to straight contact connectors, or connect angled contact fiber
end connectors with green sleeves to angled contact connectors.
You cannot connect angled non-contact fiber end connectors with orange sleeves
directly to the laser.
For further details on connector interfaces and accessories, refer to
"Accessories - Overview" section, described in this manual.
