Specifications

   Description:
  • The FC/APC Plug-Type Variable Optical Attenuator is a high-precision, adjustable optical device designed for use in Optical Transport Networks (OTN). This VOA features a plug-type design with an FC/APC connector (threaded with Angled Physical Contact polish) to provide stable, low-reflectance connections ideal for high-performance telecom systems. It enables dynamic control of optical signal power in OTN layers, helping to optimize link budgets, avoid receiver overload, and maintain signal integrity across the network.
   Features:
  • Attenuation Range: Typically 0 to 30 dB variable attenuation
  • Connector Type: FC/APC (threaded coupling with angled polish)
  • Plug-Type Design: Compact module plugs directly into OTN equipment ports
  • Operating Wavelength: 1260 nm – 1650 nm (covering OTN wavelength bands)
  • Insertion Loss: = 0.5 dB (excluding attenuation)
  • Return Loss: = 60 dB (due to APC polish)
  • Max Optical Power: Up to 500 mW or more, suitable for high-power OTN links
  • Operating Temperature: -40°C to +75°C
  • Durability: High mechanical reliability with >1000 mating cycles
