Description
The SmartClass OLA-54/-55/-55M Optical Level Attenuators are future-proof, improved variable attenuators for fiber system testing as well as installation, maintenance, and production of multimode fibers (OLA-54) and singlemode fibers(OLA-55/-55M). The OLA-55M Motorized Optical Level Attenuator provides in addition an implemented power meter for stabilized level controller applications.
The SmartClass OLA-54 and OLA-55 Optical Level Attenuators can be part of a SmartClass Optical Test Kits that contain all of the tools, including instruments and accessories, necessary to perform professional-grade power or loss tests in the field.
Benefits
- Reduce testing time with a quick start operation, requiring no warm-up time
- Provide excellent overall accuracy in use with hundreds of calibrated wavelength
- Reduce the need for couplers and additional instruments in test setups.
- Minimize insertion loss due to a special optical design
Applications
- Emulate fiber loss for testing system dynamics
- Simulate line loss for BER testing and amplifier testing (OLA-55/-55M)
- System installation and maintenance of multimode fiber (OLA-54) and singlemode fiber (OLA-55/-55M).
- Power level control for calibration test setups (OLA-55M)
