The ModCon Mode Controller by Arden Photonics is an essential component for ensuring consistent and reliable testing of multimode optical fiber networks. Whether you are using an LED, Laser, OTDR, or white light source, this mode controller guarantees that the same distribution of modes is launched into the fiber. This consistency is crucial for eliminating variations that can arise due to the differing modal characteristics of various sources commonly used in fiber optic measurements and networks.

Designed with precision and reliability in mind, the ModCon Mode Controller is housed in a durable aluminium alloy enclosure, ensuring long-lasting performance even in demanding environments. Its compact and lightweight design, with dimensions of 87mm x 42mm x 12mm and a mass of only 80g, makes it an ideal choice for integration into a wide range of applications. The device features input and output cable lengths of 500mm, each protected by a robust 900µm nylon loose tube jacket.

The optical performance of the ModCon Mode Controller is designed to meet the highest standards. It offers an insertion loss of less than 3dB for both 50µm and 62.5µm fibers at 850nm, ensuring minimal signal loss during operation. Additionally, it complies with the Encircled Flux requirements of IEC 61280-4-1: 2009, providing assurance of its quality and reliability. With a maximum power throughput of 10mW and reference-grade connectors, the ModCon Mode Controller is engineered to deliver exceptional performance in every use.
