Series 1400 Mechanically Variable Attenuator

Product Details

Eastern OptX Series VA-1400 Mechanically Variable Actuators are continuously variable and ideal for managing and testing signal levels and quality. Series 1400 Attenuators are continuously variable (not step attenuators) with operation from DC to 1.5 GHz (Usable to 4 GHz) depending on the model. 0 to 15 dB (usable to 25 dB).

System Specifications
• Input Power: 2 Watts (max)
• Resolution: 0.1 dB
• Frequency Range: DC to 1.5 GHz
• Input/Output Impedance: 50 Ω

Applications
• RF and Microwave system signal amplitude adjustment

The Eastern OptX Series 1400 Attenuators are continuously variable (not step attenuators) with operation from DC to 1.5 GHz (Usable to 4 GHz) depending on the model. 0 to 15 dB (usable to 25 dB). This Series is ideal for new product designs and also for replacement of obsolete models from other suppliers designed into legacy products. Three styles are available with various mounting configurations, including panel mount. Custom variations are available including package style, frequency range, connectors, and attenuation.
