The document describes the features and characteristics of the MAP Variable Optical Attenuator (mVOA-A2), including ultra low insertion loss, fast transition speed, configurability, optional power monitor, and high power capability.
The MAP Variable Optical Attenuator (mVOA-A2) is a hot‑pluggable cassette for the JDSU MAP platform, offering ultra‑low insertion loss (<1 dB), high repeatability and fast transition speeds up to 25 dB/s. It supports both single‑mode and multimode fiber, optional built‑in power monitoring and high‑power options up to 2 W.
The document lists detailed optical specifications, safety information, ordering options and performance graphs such as insertion loss versus wavelength and spectral uniformity. It also provides ordering codes for various configurations of power, fiber type and connector options.
| Insertion loss at minimum attenuation (no power control) | <1.0 dB |
|---|---|
| Maximum input power (standard / high power option) | +23 dBm / +33 dBm |
| Wavelength range (single‑mode) | 1260 to 1650 nm |
| Attenuation range (single‑mode) | 70 dB |
| Attenuation slew rate (nominal) | 25 dB/s |
| Attenuation accuracy | ±0.1 dB |
| Operating temperature | 0 to 50 °C |
It is less than 1.0 dB.
The standard power option can handle up to +23 dBm.
The nominal attenuation slew rate is 25 dB/s.
It operates from 0 °C to 50 °C.
