Description
The Exfo FVA-3150 is a variable attenuator designed to weaken optical signals by a controlled amount. This precise control allows technicians to simulate signal loss experienced in real-world fiber optic deployments. Common applications include component and system loss simulation, instrument calibration, power meter linearity measurement, and spectral tuning. The FVA-3150 caters to both single-mode and multimode fibers, offering a dynamic range of up to 65 dB for attenuation. It boasts high-quality components and meticulous calibration procedures for repeatable and accurate attenuation settings. The FVA-3150 can be configured as a standalone instrument or mounted on a 19-inch rack for integration into test benches. It offers standard GPIB and RS-232 interfaces for remote operation from a PC or test station, enabling technicians to write custom software for complex testing procedures.
