Product information "MCDD-1000 Benchtop Digital Multichannel Attenuators"

1-4 Channels; Power Handling ≤2 W; Fiber Type SM, MM, PM; 350-2050 nm; Connector Type NTT-FC/PC, ST, SC, SCA, LC/PC, Other; Attenuation ≤60 dB

With its MCDD-1000 system, OZ Optics offers compact, rugged and low-cost benchtop digital multichannel attenuators with high resolution, high attenuation range, and high power handling (blocking technique only). These attenuators have low insertion loss (IL), low backreflection, low polarization dependent loss (PDL) and flat wavelength response.

These units can be calibrated for up to 4 wavelengths for each attenuator, for C or L bands. Alternatively, the unit can be calibrated for a continuous range. By using interpolation between the calibration wavelengths, the MCDD-1000 benchtop digital multichannel attenuators units are capable of providing accurate attenuation levels over a continuous, broad range of wavelengths.

OZ Optics’ multichannel attenuators are ideal for use in bit error rate testing, troubleshooting receivers and other active fiber optic components, power meter linearity checks, simulating long distance fiber transmission, and power setting. A computer interface allows users to access or remotely control the unit through a PC.

OZ Optics provides attenuators that use either single mode (SM), multi mode (MM) or polarization maintaining (PM) fiber. In general, OZ Optics uses polarization maintaining fibers based on the PANDA fiber structure when building polarization maintaining components and patch cords. However, OZ Optics can construct devices using other PM fiber structures. OZ Optics does carry some alternative fiber types in stock, so please contact AMS Technologies for availability. If necessary, OZ Optics is willing to use customer-supplied fibers to build devices.
