C.2 Specifications 
Specifications describe the instrument’s warranted performance. 
Supplementary performance characteristics describe the 
instrument’s non-warranted typical performance.
Specifications are measured at 1310nm and 1550nm using a laser 
source, single-mode fiber and Agilent 81000AI or Agilent 81000SI 
connector interfaces.
