High Speed Premium Broadband Variable Optical Attenuator 350-2400nm, 120nm Coverage
The Nano-speed Broadband Variable Fiber Optical Attenuator (NSBA) provides electrical control of optical power using a patent-pending configuration activated by a voltage signal. Its solid-state optical crystal design eliminates mechanical movement and organic materials, ensuring ultra-high reliability and fast response times. The NSBA supports a wide wavelength range and is packaged with a driver that includes an SMA 0-5V control input and a 12V power supply input. It is bidirectional, with two configurations: normally-transparent, where light passes through without applied voltage, or normally-opaque, where light is blocked without voltage. The wavelength range and attenuation levels depend on the number of electro-optic crystal stages, while response speed is influenced by attenuation level and driver power. Small attenuation levels can achieve response speeds up to MHz.

Integration and compatibility
Use these checks to connect High Speed Premium Broadband Variable Optical Attenuator 350-2400nm, 120nm Coverage to the surrounding optical, mechanical and control system. Every value shown is taken from this model's own specification record.
- Optical interface and fiber
- Fiber Type: SMF-28, Hi1060, HI780, PM1550, SM600, SM800, PM850, PM780, PM630, PM980, Special · Fiber Cover: Bare fiber, 900um tube, Special
- Specify connector polish and fiber architecture together. FC/PC, FC/APC and SMA interfaces, and single-mode, multimode and polarization-maintaining fibers, impose different return-loss, mode-field and alignment requirements.
- Wavelength and loss budget
- Center Wavelength: 1060nm, 2000nm, 1310nm, 1550nm, 1625nm, 850nm, 780nm, 650nm, 550nm, 450nm, Special
- Check the Optical Modulators passband, insertion loss, return loss and power handling at the actual source wavelength; a nominal telecom-band label is not a substitute for the configured range.
