  • Low-cost method for adding step-variable optical attenuation without interrupting connections
  • Passive device intentionally induces macrobend losses around a series of restrictive curvatures
  • Combination of 1dB, 2dB & 4dB "loops" provides step-variable attenuation from 1dB thru 7dB*
  • Built-in strain-relief mechanism minimizes changes in attenuation over time and temperature
  • Ideally suited for singlemode 1310/1550 nm applications, including:

* The Olson Technology, Inc. Model OTOA-1000 provides 1dB though 7dB of step-variable attenuation (i.e. @ 1dB steps) for 1310nm signals via standard simplex 9/125 yellow nonplenum riser jacketed singlemode fiber cable. Results may vary with other wavelengths and types of fiber cable.

The OTOA-1000 is the perfect companion to the Olson Technology, Inc. PremiseNode Models OTPN-x and MetroNode Models OTMN-x optical node/receiver product families, but is also designed to operate with optical node/receivers from most leading manufacturers.
