High Speed Variable Fiber Optical Attenuator Array (up to 48 Channels)

The NS Series Variable Fiber Optical Attenuator (VOA) provides electrical control of optical power. This is achieved using a patent-pending non-mechanical configuration and is activated via a voltage electrical control signal. The solid-state optical crystal design eliminates mechanical movement and organic materials. The NS Series Variable Optical Attenuators are designed to meet the most demanding operational requirements of ultra-high reliability and fast response time with minimal mechanical footprint. We also offer customized electronic designs to meet special control requirements and applications. The switch is bidirectional. The NS Series VOA is available in either normally-transparent or normally-opaque configurations. The array is mounted on a PCB driver board with a wall-plug 12VDC power supply and a 0-5V control signal input.
