Description
Overview
GAOTek EDFA attenuator supports high-quality components and meticulous calibration procedures make it the instrument of choice for repeatable and accurate attenuation settings (up to 65 dB). It meets system and component manufacturers’ needs for component and system loss simulation, instrument calibration, power meter linearity measurement and spectral tuning. Its ultra-low insertion loss enables you to optimize the loss budget. This product configures for single mode or multimode fibers. Use it as a stand-alone instrument or mounted on a 19 in (48.26 cm) rack (optional).
Features
- Outstanding spectral uniformity (± 0.03 dB)
- Ideal for BER testing and system verification
- Monitor output option
- Fast settling time for optimized efficiency
- Programmable using front-panel, RS-232, or GPIB interfaces
