This unit
The Exfo FVA-60B is an optical variable attenuator engineered for precise control of optical signal power in fiber optic networks. It delivers exceptional accuracy with ±0.15 dB insertion loss and 0.05 dB repeatability, making it essential for testing, calibration, and system integration in laboratory and field environments.
Technical Specifications
Insertion Loss (Typical): ±0.15 dB
Repeatability: 0.05 dB
Control Method: Manual adjustment knob for variable attenuation
Key Features
High-precision power level adjustment for demanding fiber optic applications
Repeatable attenuation control ensures consistent measurement results
Manual knob interface for straightforward operation
Typical Applications
Optical network testing and signal degradation simulation
Component characterization of transmitters, receivers, and optical modules
System calibration requiring accurate optical power level control
Research and development experimental setups
Compatibility & Integration The FVA-60B integrates into standard fiber optic test benches and field deployment scenarios. Verify connector and fiber type compatibility with your specific system configuration before deployment.
Exfo FVA-60B — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Exfo FVA-60B. 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 FVA-60B 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.

Exfo FVA-60B calibration cost
NIST-traceable calibration for the Exfo FVA-60B 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 →
