Variable Optical Attenuator

Variable Optical Attenuator

The fiber optical attenuator is a fiber-coupled device used to reduce or balance the power of the light transmitted from one device to another device,used in fiber optic communications to the the power level of a fiber cable by controlling the amount of signal loss that is passed through the signal.

Features

· Low insertion loss

· Low polarization dependent loss

· Miniature design

· Low power consumption

· High shock & vibration immunity

· Telcordia 1209 & 1221 compliant


Applications

· Channel on/off switch

· Channel equalization - Receiver protection

· Power equalization in OADM/ROADM

· Power equalization in VMUX

· EDFA GAIN-TILT control
