The FIBERPRO PE4200 Programmable PMD Emulator Solution is designed to simulate polarization mode dispersion effects in optical fiber systems. It can emulate the PMD behavior of several hundred kilometers of optical fiber, helping engineers evaluate optical transmission performance, system tolerance, and component behavior under controlled PMD conditions.
Using FIBERPRO all-fiber technology, the PE4200 supports controllable first-order PMD generation, second-order PMD generation, and random PMD generation with Maxwellian distribution. It is suitable for 10G, 40G, and other high-speed optical test applications where repeatable and programmable PMD conditions are required.
