KI 7010 Series Variable Optical Attenuators

Product information "KI 7010 Series Variable Optical Attenuators"

Digital Variable Handheld Attenuator; Fiber Type SM, MM, POF; 650-1550 nm; Attenuation Range 2.0-60 dB; Resolution 0.05 dB; RL 60 dB

Kingfisher’s KI 7010 Series of handheld fiber optic variable attenuators are precision instruments commonly used for testing optical system margin, linearity and sensitivity of optical transmission equipment and to adjust a source output power.

Superior specifications, superb accuracy, high productivity and numerous useful attributes like remote-control capability make the KI 7010 Series genuine laboratory grade instruments. Versions are available for single mode (SM), multi mode (MM) and POF fiber types.

Very flat wavelength response enables confident testing of CWDM/DWDM systems. The instrument wavelength setting is actually irrelevant in most situations up to about 20 dB of attenuation.

Industry leading linearity and absolute accuracy backed up by an ILAC / ISO 17025 traceable calibration certificate enable precision linearity testing of sub systems and components. Full absolute calibration is performed at all wavelengths and attenuation values.

The patented metal-free interchangeable connectors avoid critical contamination of connectors used in high power applications. Operational modes include manual, relative, step and remote control via a PC. Step mode is very useful for typical linearity checking applications.

The free Labwindows-based PC software is used to provide external control. External control is provided via an RS232 interface. Alternatively, a simple command set can be used to program the instrument using your own code.

The attenuation remains stable as the instrument is turned on or off, making the device suitable for embedded use in working systems. Power can be supplied externally.

DA-100 Variable Optical Attenuators
Hand-held Device; Fiber Type SM, MM, PM (PANDA); 350 to 2050 nm; Connector Type NTT-FC/PC, ST, SC, other; Attenuation IL to 40, 60 dB OZ Optics’ DA-100 series of compact, hand-held and rugged digital attenuators feature high resolution, high speed, high attenuation range and high power handling (blocking technique only). These CE approved attenuators have low insertion loss, low backreflection, low PDL and flat wavelength response. The DA-100 series of hand-held digital attenuators can be calibrated for up to four wavelengths, for C or L bands. Alternatively, the units can be calibrated for a continuous range. By using interpolation between the calibration wavelengths, the units are capable of providing accurate attenuation levels over a continuous, broad range of wavelengths. A computer interface allows users to access or remotely control the units through a PC. An optional, built-in rechargeable battery is available for field use, where AC power may not be readily accessible. OZ Optics provides digital attenuators that use either single mode, multi mode or polarization maintaining (PM) fiber. In general, OZ Optics uses polarization maintaining fibers based on the PANDA fiber structure when building polarization maintaining components and patchcords. However, OZ Optics can construct devices using other PM fiber structures. OZ Optics does carry some alternative fiber types in stock, so please contact AMS Technology for availability. If necessary, OZ Optics is willing to use customer supplied fibers to build devices. Key Features: CE Compliant, Hand-held Device Computer Interface (USB as Standard) Battery Option Available High Power Handling (up to 2 W) High Speed and Resolution- Wide Attenuation Range (from 350 to 2050 nm) Low PDL and Wavelength Dependency Low Insertion Loss and Backreflection Rugged and Compact Design Calibrated for Dual Wavelengths, (1300 to 1550 nm) or Calibrated for C and L Bands. Can also be Calibrated for up to Four Individual WavelengthsApplications: Bit Error Rate Testing; Trouble Shooting Receivers and Other Active Fiber Optic Components; Simulating Long Distance Fiber Transmission; Design of Fiber Optic Transmitter/Receiver Circuitry; Power Meter Linearity Checks; Power Setting
