MCDD-1000 Benchtop Digital Multichannel Attenuators

Product information "MCDD-1000 Benchtop Digital Multichannel Attenuators"

1-4 Channels; Power Handling ≤2 W; Fiber Type SM, MM, PM; 350-2050 nm; Connector Type NTT-FC/PC, ST, SC, SCA, LC/PC, Other; Attenuation ≤60 dB

With its MCDD-1000 system, OZ Optics offers compact, rugged and low-cost benchtop digital multichannel attenuators with high resolution, high attenuation range, and high power handling (blocking technique only). These attenuators have low insertion loss (IL), low backreflection, low polarization dependent loss (PDL) and flat wavelength response.

These units can be calibrated for up to 4 wavelengths for each attenuator, for C or L bands. Alternatively, the unit can be calibrated for a continuous range. By using interpolation between the calibration wavelengths, the MCDD-1000 benchtop digital multichannel attenuators units are capable of providing accurate attenuation levels over a continuous, broad range of wavelengths.

OZ Optics’ multichannel attenuators are ideal for use in bit error rate testing, troubleshooting receivers and other active fiber optic components, power meter linearity checks, simulating long distance fiber transmission, and power setting. A computer interface allows users to access or remotely control the unit through a PC.

OZ Optics provides attenuators that use either single mode (SM), multi mode (MM) 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 patch cords. 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 Technologies for availability. If necessary, OZ Optics is willing to use customer-supplied fibers to build devices.

SX Series Fiber Optic MEMS Switches
Latching or Non-latching; 1x1, 2x1, 2x2; Fiber Type SM, MM; 600 to 1700 nm; Insertion Loss 1.0 dB; Crosstalk 60 dB; Switching Time 1 ms Sercalo Microtechnology's SX series of fast fiber optic MEMS switches are suitable for regular test and measurement applications. For applications where high reliability is required the newer SXLA series should be chosen. The SX series are miniature opto-mechanical switches for fiber optic communication systems and submodules, available in latching (-LT) or nonlatching (-NT) variants, with 1x1, 2x1 and 2x2 configurations. These switches offer smallest size, ease of integration and the established solid state reliability of Sercalo Microtechnology’s MEMS components. In the SX series, the optical switching function is realised by a silicon MEMS chip, on which a mirror can be moved in and out of the optical path by electrostatic actuation. For new designs the SX switch is recommended in its latching variant, where a bistable suspension mechanism keeps the last selected state in power off. To operate the switch, 5 V and 0 V are applied on pins 1 and 2, which are used by the internal DC/DC converter to supply a high voltage for the actuator control. CMOS or TTL logic levels on pins 3-4 control the electrostatic actuator. To set the switch state in the latching variant, pin 3 respectively pin 4 are set to logic high (5 V) for 20 ms and the corresponding switch state is selected. At rest pins 3 and 4 should be pulled to 0 V and must not be floating. Key Features: Small Size: 23 x 10 x 6 mm TTL or CMOS Logic Latching 2x2, 2x1, 1x1 Variants Single Mode (SM) or Multi Mode (MM) Fiber Wavelength Range: 600 to 1700 nm Insertion Loss (IL): 1.0 dB Response Time: 0.5 to 1 ms Crosstalk: 60 dB Applications: Protection Switching; Reconfiguration; Optical Subsystems; Array Integration
