Application context
Application guidance is tied to the configured wavelength, fiber interface and optical-budget fields for this family.
Ultra-Mini MEMS Variable Attenuation Array: Optical power control depends on preserving the optical budget through the complete path. The 1060, C + L, 1310, 1550, 780, 850, 850/1310, 1260~1620 wavelength specification sets source and detector compatibility. The fiber/interface entry (SMF-28, HI1060, HI780, MM 50/125, MM 62.5/125, PM1550, PM1310, PM980, PM850) must match the connected components.

Technical FAQ
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: 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.
