Category Specification
Model AQ2200-342
Type Programmable Optical Attenuator Module
Form Factor Single-slot module for AQ2200 series mainframe
Wavelength Range 1250 to 1650 nm
Covers all major telecom bands (O, E, S, C, L).
Attenuation Range 0 to 60 dB (Wide dynamic range)
Attenuation Accuracy ±0.2 dB (Typical at 1550 nm for a 40 dB setting)
Attenuation Linearity < 0.2 dB
Repeatability < 0.01 dB (Excellent for precise, repeatable measurements)
Insertion Loss < 1.5 dB (Typical, in its minimum attenuation state)
Polarization Dependent Loss (PDL) < 0.1 dB (Very low, ensuring accurate attenuation regardless of light polarization)
Return Loss > 40 dB (Good, minimizes reflected light)
Response Time < 15 ms (Fast, suitable for dynamic simulation and automated testing)
Input Power +23 dBm (Maximum input optical power)
Connector Type FC/PC (Standard). Other types like FC/APC may be available.
Control Interface GPIB and Ethernet (LAN) via the AQ2200 mainframe.
Applications Receiver sensitivity testing, system margin testing, simulation of fiber loss, automated optical component test systems.
