Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the JDS Uniphase COSA-4055 measure and what are its key specifications?
- The COSA-4055 is a compact optical subassembly (COSA) engineered for high-performance optical transceivers, integrating essential optical components for light transmission and reception in telecom and datacom networks. It operates across the C-band and L-band window from 1260 to 1625 nm with a power measurement range of −55 to +10 dBm, making it ideal for applications demanding miniaturization and high signal integrity in optical communication systems.
- What is the condition of this used COSA-4055, and what has been verified?
- We have inspected this used unit for physical integrity, optical connector condition, and basic functional operation before listing. As a pre-owned instrument, it is offered as-is unless calibration certification is requested; we recommend calibration verification prior to deployment in metrology-critical environments to ensure measurement accuracy.
- Is calibration available for the COSA-4055, and what does it cover?
- Yes, calibration is available separately starting at $450 and covers verification of wavelength accuracy and power measurement linearity across the stated operating range. Turnaround time and detailed calibration scope can be confirmed upon request; we provide NIST-traceable documentation upon completion.
- What interfaces and connectivity options does the COSA-4055 support?
- The COSA-4055 is a passive optical subassembly and does not include direct digital interfaces such as GPIB, USB, or Ethernet; it is designed for integration into optical transceiver modules where host equipment manages signal acquisition and processing. Compatible drivers and software depend on the host system architecture—consult the OEM transceiver documentation for integration guidelines.
