The FOD 54xx Variable Optical Attenuators are precision instruments designed to simulate optical attenuation in fiber optic networks. This capability is crucial for testing the performance and reliability of newly installed telecommunication equipment. By precisely controlling the level of attenuation, technicians can assess the optical margins of devices and ensure they can withstand real-world conditions.

Key Features of the FOD 5418 Series:

• Singlemode Compatibility: Suitable for both 1310nm and 1550nm wavelengths, commonly used in singlemode fiber optic systems.
• Wide Attenuation Range: Provides a variable attenuation range from 0 to 80 dB with a high resolution of 0.05 dB, allowing for precise control over the attenuation level.
• User-Friendly Design: The intuitive interface and compact design make the device easy to use and transport.
• Versatile Connectivity: The changeable adapter options (FC, ST, SC, LC, and Universal 2.5mm) ensure compatibility with a wide range of fiber optic connectors.

Accessories:

• AC Adapter: Provides power for continuous operation.
• USB Cable: Enables remote control capabilities.
• Soft Carrying Case: Protects the device during transportation and storage.
• Changeable adapters (Optional): (FC, ST, SC, LC, Universal 2.5 mm)

By utilizing the FOD 5418 Variable Optical Attenuators, technicians can accurately assess the performance of singlemode telecommunication equipment, identify potential issues, and optimize network configurations.
