OLA-55M Handheld Optical Level Attenuators

Product information "OLA-55M Handheld Optical Level Attenuators"

Motorized; Fiber Type SM; 1260 to 1650 nm; Connector Type ST, SC, FC, DIN, LC; Attenuation 2.5 to 60 dB

Viavi Solutions’ OLA-55M series of SmartClass motorized optical level attenuators are future-proof, improved variable attenuators for fiber system testing as well as installation, maintenance and production of single mode fibers. The OLA-55M series provides an implemented power meter for stabilized level controller applications.

The OLA-55M series reduce testing time with a quick start operation, requiring no warm-up time. They provide excellent overall accuracy in use with hundreds of calibrated wavelengths, reduce the need for couplers or additional instruments in test setups and minimize insertion loss due to a special optical design. Due to minimized differential group delay (DGD), the SmartClass OLA-55M series is also suitable for 40 Gbps systems.

The OLA-55M optical level attenuators can be part of a SmartClass optical test kit that contains all of the tools, including instruments and accessories, necessary to perform professional-grade power or loss tests in the field.

Key Features:

  • Robust, Shock-proof, and Splash-proof Design for Field Operation
  • USB Port for Remote Operation
  • Absolute and Relative Attenuation Setting
  • Level Controller Function for Direct Setting of Attenuator Output Level
  • 40 Gbps Ready due to Low Differential Group Delay
  • Traceable Measurements to NIST/PTB Standards for Confidence in Accuracy
  • 400 Adjustable Wavelengths

Applications: Emulate Fiber Loss for Testing System Dynamics; Simulate Line Loss for BER Testing and Amplifier Testing; System Installation and Maintenance of Single Mode Fiber; Power Level Control for Calibration Test Setups
