The MPA-100 is a highly integrated rack mountable variant of pigtailed photo detectors. Multi-channel optical power is measured using MPO or MTP connectors. There are silicon photo detectors for the 850 nm range and InGaAs photo detectors for 1260 - 1610 nm. The observed photocurrent is transformed into a voltage output via a 16-bit multi-channel DAQ interface. The dimensions are (W) 482.6 × (D) 430 × (H) 44 mm.
