INTRODUCTION AND APPLICATIONS
The KI7000B Series Automated Variable Optical Attenuator provides
optimum performance for testing fiber optic transmission systems, sub
systems and components by creating accurate variable optical losses.
Compact and simple to operate, this is the ideal equipment for field or
laboratory use by installers, technicians and engineers. Calibration is
ISO 17025 traceable.
Typical applications:
•
Measurements, where traceability and full documentation is
required
•
Transmission equipment commissioning
•
Precision linearity testing of sub systems and components
•
Automated production and laboratory testing
•
Quality assurance and acceptance testing
The single mode version is calibrated at 1310 and 1550 nm over the
range of 2 ~ 60.00 dB, the multimode version at 850 & 1300 nm over
the range of 3.00 ~ 60.00 dB, and the POF version at 650 nm over the
range of 5 ~ 60 dB.
The instrument features exceptional wavelength flatness, excellent
PDL, ORL and PMD performance, making it ideal for use in CWDM
/DWDM systems.
Accuracy and linearity are obtained during manufacturing by
calibrating every incremental 0.05 dB setting of the attenuator at each
wavelength. Attenuation achieved by movement of a neutral density
filter positioned in the optical path; it remains unchanged when the
instrument is turned off. Optimal design of the optical path enables low
back reflection.
A convenient menu-driven interface guides the user through
operational sequences with hidden keypad access of advanced
functions.
Instrument features various display modes, including actual, relative
and arbitrary attenuation. Available operational modes include simple
manual, step, multiple user settable program modes (for FW versions
17.05 & earlier only) and remote control via PC. Software for external
control can be downloaded from our website.
The design of the instrument includes shock absorbing corners for
drop protection and tough polycarbonate housing. The latest materials
and methods have been used to produce an elegant, yet rugged
instrument.
The interchangeable optical connectors are protected by a snap on
cover and are easily disassembled for cleaning. A wide variety of
connector styles are available as an option.
The battery life varies from 200 to 600 hours, depending on motor
activity. Alternatively, instrument can be used with optional external
power supply OPT103B.
