Only one control interface can be selected at a time.
1. All Specifications at room temperature, without connectors
2. WDL is for single band wavelength measured from CWL
3. Operation from 1290 - 1330nm or 1570-1610 nm adds 0.2dB
4. Operation from 1290 - 1330nm or 1570-1610 nm adds 0.3dB
5. Operation from 1290 - 1330nm or 1570-1610 nm adds 0.1dB
6. Maximum change of each 2 nm segment within the operating range
7. Repeatability is defined within 100 cycles
8. DiCon recommends use of external detectors or a dynamic power equalizer
module for applications requiring absolute attenuation accuracy.
