The Agilent 8166A/B Lightwave Multichannel System has 17 slim module
slots.
The system can host up to seventeen front-loadable modules, of any
combination of the following types:
• compact Tunable Laser modules, such as the the Agilent 81689A,
• fixed wavelength Laser Sources, such as the Agilent 81650A,
• DFB Source modules, such as the Agilent 81662A
• Power Sensors, both dual and single, such as the Agilent 81635A,
• Fast Power Sensor Modules, such as the Agilent 81637B,
• Interface Modules for Optical Heads, such as the Agilent 81618A,
• Return Loss Modules, such as the Agilent 81610A
• Attenuator Modules, such as the Agilent 81570A
• Optical Switch Modules. such as the Agilent 81591B
The front-loadable module slots do not support any modules designed for
the 8153A Lightwave Multimeter, that is, modules with part numbers less
than 81600.
