Description

The MTTC Series Mechanically Tunable Coupler (1x2) from Ascentta offers precise manual control over optical signal splitting, enabling real-time tuning of insertion loss between 0 to 40 dB. Available at key telecom wavelengths including 1270, 1310, 1450, 1550, and 1650 nm, this coupler is ideal for a wide range of optical network applications, lab environments, and fiber optic instrumentation requiring configurable performance.

Designed with minimal excess loss (typical 0.3 dB) and low polarization-dependent loss (PDL ≤ 0.15 dB at 3 dB split), the MTTC series ensures superior signal integrity. It supports optical power handling up to 300 mW, and its compact and rugged 50×45×87 mm form factor enables easy integration into standard systems.

Each device is customizable in terms of fiber type, cable structure, pigtail length, and connector configuration. With a broad operating temperature range of -20°C to +70°C and high directivity (≥55 dB), the MTTC Series is built for both performance and durability in demanding environments.

For custom configurations, Ascentta offers tailored solutions to meet your specific application requirements.
