System integration

Integration and compatibility

Use these checks to connect MEMS Fiber Optical Variable Attenuator – 1D 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, PM1550/250, PM1310/250, PM980/250, PM850/250, MM 50/125, MM 62.5/125, Special · Fiber Cover: Bare Fiber, 900 µm Loose Tube
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
Wavelength: 1260~1620, 1060, 1310, 1550, 850, 850/1310, Special
Check the Variable Optical Attenuators 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.
