Exfo FVA-3100-BWEI Variable Attenuator

Exfo FVA-3100-BWEI Variable Attenuator

Feature

• Excellent spectral uniformity of ± 0.1 dB
• 100 dB maximum attenuation
• Ultra-low insertion loss
• Standard GPIB and RS-232 interface

High-quality components and meticulous calibration procedures make the FVA-3100 Variable Attenuator the instrument of choice for repeatable and accurate attenuation settings (up to 100 dB). The FVA-3100 meets system and component manufacturers’ need for accurate EDFA characterization, component and system loss simulation, instrument calibration, power meter linearity measurement and spectral tuning. Its ultra-low insertion loss of 1.5 dB enables you to optimize the loss budget.
