1
The attenuation range is a continuous function of wavelength.
2
At constant temperature, wavelength, and polarization state after a half hour warm-up.
3
With optimization of the calibration wavelength or user slope. If optimization is not performed,
accuracy is the greater of ±0.1 dB or ±0.004 dB/dB from 1260 to 1360 nm and from 1450 to 1570 nm.
At other wavelengths, the accuracy is the greater of ±0.1 dB or ±0.015 dB/dB if optimization is not
performed.
4
Measured at 23 °C with a laser source.
5
Not including connectors, switch, or coupler (if installed).
6
Over 850 to 1600 nm. Insertion loss is typically highest at wavelength extremes.
