The Ando AQ2200-331 is a single-slot optical module that combines a variable attenuator and integrated power meter in one unit. It delivers precise attenuation control and real-time output power monitoring for optical signal characterization within the AQ2200 Multi Application Test System. The module operates across two wavelength bands and supports both single-mode and multi-mode fiber types, making it suitable for telecommunications, fiber network testing, and optical system calibration. Hot-swappable design enables field installation and removal without system shutdown.
