Integration and compatibility
Use these checks to connect Ultra-Mini MEMS Variable Attenuation Array 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, MM 50/125, MM 62.5/125, PM1550, PM1310, PM980, PM850 · Fiber Cover: Bare fiber, 900 um 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: 1060, C + L, 1310, 1550, 780, 850, 850/1310, 1260~1620
- 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.
