Manual Variable Optical Attenuator Has an Epoxy-Free Optical Path

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) January 3, 2010 -- Toronto,Canada - GAO Fiber Optics (www.GAOFiberOptics.com ) has released its manual variable optical attenuator which is commonly deployed in fiber optic systems where the optical power from the source is too high for the equipment in use.It is intended for optical power control and equalization in WDM, FTTx,CATV systems.

GAO Fiber Optics' manual variable optical attenuator works at wavelengths from 1290nm to 1625nm within the temperature range of -5°C to 75°C The maximum handling power is 300mW and the attenuation level in dB ranges from 10dB to 45dB. This attenuator features low insertion loss of less than 1.5dB, return loss of over 55dB without a connector and polarization dependent loss of less than 0.2dB. It reduces the amplitude or power without appreciably distorting the waveform. This variable attenuator has an epoxy-free optical path and is highly stable and reliable.
