The Exfo IQ-9601-03-58-B01 is a utility module designed for the IQ-200 Optical Test System, providing a standardized frame for housing passive optical components such as couplers, isolators, filters, and Bragg gratings. This single-slot module secures optical components that would otherwise remain loose on a workbench, preventing damage and misalignment while enabling organized integration into EXFO’s modular test platform.
## Technical Specifications
• **Module Type:** Utility module (empty frame, no electrical connections)
• **Slot Configuration:** Single-slot module for IQ-203 mainframe or IQ-206 expansion units
• **Internal Dimensions:** 10.2 x 3.2 x 25.8 cm (H × W × D)
• **Connector Interface:** EXFO Universal Interface (EUI) with angled (EA) or non-angled (EI) options
• **Included Accessories:** Tie wraps, brackets, and component mounting holders
## Key Features
• Accommodates multiple passive optical component types in a single frame
• Standardized integration within IQ-200 system architecture
• Supports optical couplers with various coupling ratios (50/50, 25/75, 1/99, 5/95, 10/90)
• Compatible with 1×2, 1×4, and 1×8 coupler configurations
• Optical isolators for unidirectional light transmission
• Wavelength-selective filters and fiber Bragg grating mounting
## Typical Applications
• Passive optical component integration in automated test environments
• Fiber Bragg grating mounting for wavelength-specific filtering or sensing
• Multi-ratio coupler deployment in optical testing workflows
• Optical isolation and spectral shaping applications within test systems
## Compatibility & Integration
The IQ-9601 integrates within EXFO’s IQ-200 platform. The IQ-203 control unit accommodates up to three test modules; IQ-206 expansion units provide additional capacity for scalable configurations. The system supports OLE/OCX controls, LabVIEW drivers, and GPIB (IEEE-488.2) communication protocols. Backward compatibility with IQ-500 series modules enables legacy platform integration.
