QUEBEC CITY,
March 6, 2014 /CNW Telbec/ - EXFO
Inc. (NASDAQ: EXFO) (TSX: EXF) announced today the arrival of the
FVA-3800 Multiport Benchtop Optical Variable Attenuator. The
FVA-3800 is the most compact solution on the market allowing
customers with tight space requirements to get a no-compromise
solution. It is the ideal solution for bit error rate (BER) testing
and system verification in labs or demanding manufacturing
environments.
With the steady growth of 10G deployments and
the appearance of 100G and soon 400G transmission systems, test
instruments must perform a wider variety of requirements than ever
before. This is why we designed the FVA-3800 Multiport Benchtop
Optical Variable Attenuator to handle a broad range of applications
including system loss emulation, coherent transmission as well as
transceiver design and testing. It offers utmost flexibility and
thanks to its high density, fast settling time and incredible
reliability, it will satisfy the most stringent research
requirements.
The FVA-3800 houses up to 4 attenuators in a
single unit and includes an integrated power meter for accurate
output power control. Moreover, the polarization maintaining option
eliminates the need for an external polarization controller for
applications like coherent transmitter and receiver design.
The FVA-3800 is equipped with an easy-to-use
front panel control, it can be remotely controlled via USB or
Ethernet and it is compatible with EXFO's Test Instrument Manager
application (a.k.a. TIM), which is also compatible with the FLS and
IQS-2800 ITLA tunable light sources.
The FVA-3800 is available now. Come see us at
Booth # 1323 at OFC 2014 for a demo.
