LC/UPC High Precision Variable Optical Attenuator (VOA) with Singlemode | For Lab, Testing & Optical Networks


Brand:

Specifications

   Description
  • A high-precision variable optical attenuator designed to finely control the optical signal power through manual adjustment. Featuring LC/UPC connectors, this VOA supports single-mode applications across key telecom wavelengths, making it well-suited for lab testing, telecom links, and fiber network calibration 
   Features
  • Wide Attenuation Range: Typically adjustable from 0.6 dB up to 30–60 dB, depending on model 
  • High Precision: Attenuation steps with precision as fine as ±0.02 dB 
  • Low Insertion Loss: Additional loss 0.6dB aside from the set attenuation 
  • Low Polarization-Dependent Loss (PDL): Typically <0.10 dB 
  • High Return Loss: UPC: >55dB; APC variants may exceed65dB 
  • Stable & Reliable: Excellent stability across environmental changes, with consistent performance over time 
   Specifications

  • Fiber Type: Singlemode (9/125µm SMF)
   Ideal Uses
  • Optical system tuning & calibration: Precise attenuation control for aligning channel power in WDM networks
  • Testing environments: Manually simulate fiber link loss or perform margin testing
  • Avoiding receiver saturation: For sensitive optical receivers when fiber run is short or launch power is high
  • FTTH, CATV, LAN: When precise power balancing is needed in access or distribution systems
  • Fiber sensor systems: To calibrate signal power for sensors or measurement links
  • Lab and R&D: Offers manual control in development and performance testing setups
   Why Choose This High-Precision LC/UPC VOA?
  • Precision Attenuation Control: ±0.02dB resolution gives finer adjustments than fixed attenuators.
  • Wide Dynamic Range: Models up to 60dB allow flexible use in various signal power scenarios.
  • Low Loss & PDL: Maintains signal integrity—ideal for high-bandwidth or sensitive systems.
  • Good Return Loss: Ensures minimal back-reflection, especially in UPC-terminated units.
  • Versatile & Plug-and-Play: No external power; fits standard LC/UPC fiber links and test setups.
