BB-600-11 Variable Optical Attenuators

Product information "BB-600-11 Variable Optical Attenuators"

Reflective Style, Manually (Screw) Controlled; Fiber Type SM, MM, PM; 400 to 1625 nm; Connector Type NTT-FC/PC, ST, SC, LC/PC, other; Attenuation up to 40, 60 dB

OZ Optics’ BB-600-11 series of compact PC board mountable, reflective style, variable attenuators with low backreflection can be used for C, L and S wavelength bands, with minimal changes in insertion loss. Reflector style housings are ideal for applications where the input and output fibers must be attached to the same side of the attenuator. Mounting holes provide easy attachment to PC boards and patch panels.

The BB-600-11 series of reflector style attenuators contain either a variable neutral density filter or a blocking plate depending on the attenuator version selected. The blocking style is ideal for high power (over 50 mW) applications, while the neutral density filter provides more uniform attenuation in multi mode applications. The attenuation is controlled by a turn screw on the side of the attenuator, which controls the position of the filter or plate.

BB-100/400/500/700-11 Variable Optical Attenuators
Blocking, Pigtail Style; Fiber Type SM, MM, PM; 350 to 2050 nm; Connector Type NTT-FC/PC, ST, SC, LC/PC, other; Attenuation up to 80 dB OZ Optics’ BB-100/400/500/700-11 series of compact PC board mountable blocking pigtail style variable attenuators with low backreflection are designed to meet Telcordia standards. These attenuators can be used for 1300 nm and 1550 nm as well as for C, L and S bands, with minimal changes in the insertion loss. Mounting holes provide easy attachment to PC boards and patch panels. The mounting hole patterns and attenuator sizes can be modified to meet customer requirements The attenuators consist of two collimating lenses, prealigned for optimum coupling efficiency. A threaded radial screw is used to block the collimated beam between the two lenses. Because the attenuator works by directly blocking the beam, it is polarization insensitive. A seal cap is used to seal the junction against temperature and humidity effects. The attenuator can even withstand immersion in water for extended periods of time. Variable attenuators are offered with single mode, multi mode, or polarization maintaining fibers.
