Multi-channel MEMS Variable Optical Attenuator Module

Multi-channel MEMS Variable Optical Attenuator Module

The Multi-channel MEMS Variable Optical Attenuator Module is a polarization-maintaining fiber attenuation control product based on Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) technology. It integrates and controls up to 16 MEMS VOA channels within a single module. The module provides unified control of multiple optical attenuation channels via RS232, USB, or I²C interfaces, offering a compact, secure, and easy-to-integrate solution for multi-channel optical power regulation. It employs Panda-type polarization-maintaining fiber and covers the 1260-1680 nm wavelength range, making it suitable for optical communication and test systems in the O, C, and L bands.

Product features：Supports up to 16 MEMS VOA channels per module；Based on mature MEMS technology with high reliability；Supports RS232, USB, and I²C control interfaces；Response time ≤ 2 ms

Part Number：MP-VOA-1260-1680

Application area：Multi-channel optical power control | Optical communication system testing | DWDM/CWDM optical network testing | Polarization-maintaining fiber device testing | Multi-channel laser power contro | Integration into communication equipment and test instruments
