MOA-3800 Variable Attenuator

MOA-3800 Variable Attenuator

Supplier
Exfo
Part Number
MOA-3800 Variable Attenuator
Category
Fiber Optic Attenuators
Origin
Canada

The MOA-3800 Variable Attenuator is optimized for use with EXFO systems and software control via SCPI over Ethernet. It can precisely add attenuation to singlemode or multimode fibers, with the attenuation of each fiber set independently. An optional self-adjusting mode is available, which automatically monitors and sets the output power to a desired level.
