Multimode Variable Fiber Attenuator | Kingfisher International

Overview

This hand-held fiber optic variable attenuator is a precision instrument commonly used for testing 62.5 u multimode mode fiber systems for optical system margin and linearity. Superior specifications, high productivity and remote-control capability also make this a genuine laboratory grade instrument. An additional typical application is as a passive adjustable attenuator pad in a transmission system.
