Oplink's pigtail integrated photodiode array (PIPA) is a compact, multi-channel power-monitoring device. It increases module design flexibility and efficiency by significantly reducing the number of assembly components and facilitating fiber management.

Easily mounted on a PCB, Oplink's standard 12/14-pin package provides power monitoring for up to ten channels. Applications include DWDM channel power monitoring, optical network switching/protection monitoring, re-configurable optical add/drop multiplexers, and gain/attenuation monitoring in amplifier systems.

Oplink can provide customized designs to meet specialized feature applications. Also, Oplink offers modular assemblies that integrate other components to form a full function module or subsystem.
