This unit

The Exfo FOA-32 is a fixed optical attenuator meticulously engineered for single-mode fiber systems, delivering a precise level of optical power reduction. Essential for testing and optimizing optical network performance, this attenuator guarantees high accuracy and consistent results. Its durable construction and compact form factor make it an excellent choice for diverse environments, from controlled laboratory settings to demanding field operations. This reliable tool ensures optimal signal levels and precise power management in fiber optic networks.

Exfo FOA-32 — Repair & Calibration Service

Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Exfo FOA-32. Calibration covers attenuation accuracy at 5 or more set values across the full range (0 to rated maximum dB), attenuation linearity, wavelength-dependent attenuation at 1310 nm, 1490 nm, and 1550 nm, insertion loss at minimum attenuation (0 dB position), and polarization-dependent loss (PDL) where applicable. All calibrations ship with a NIST-traceable certificate. Turnaround is typically 1–3 business days after receipt.

Common Exfo FOA-32 faults: motor and gear mechanism wear (attenuation steps or loss of smooth control), optical port contamination, EEPROM calibration data corruption. Most common faults are motor or gear mechanism wear on variable attenuators causing attenuation steps or loss of smooth control, optical port contamination reducing dynamic range, and EEPROM calibration data corruption on digitally controlled models.

This Exfo FOA-32 is listed at $75. Calibration is available separately from $450. Contact us for volume pricing or if you need multiple units.

Exfo FOA-32 calibration cost

NIST-traceable calibration for the Exfo FOA-32 is $450 (standard — pass/fail certificate and calibration sticker) or $650 (full measured data at every test point, reference standards documented, traceability chain included). Calibration for this instrument covers attenuation accuracy at 5 or more set values across the full range (0 to rated maximum dB), attenuation linearity, wavelength-dependent attenuation at 1310 nm, 1490 nm, and 1550 nm, insertion loss at minimum attenuation (0 dB position), and polarization-dependent loss (PDL) where applicable. Turnaround is 1 to 3 business days after receipt. See full calibration details →
