359A Series 1310 & 1550 nm Standard and
Ultra Fiber Optic Delay Line Modules
DATASHEET | NOVEMBER 2014
MICROWAVE
The 359A Series Standard and Ultra Fiber Optic Delay Line Modules provide opti-
cal delays for 1310 and 1550 nm applications housed in an industry standard 19”
rack-mount enlcosure. Fiber Optic Delay Lines deliver unmatched performance for
radar testing, signal processing, phased array antennas and phase noise testing.
The 359A Series provides both a standard single-mode fiber and offers a purpose
built solution for applications requiring maximum delay length.
The 359X platform works with a wide range of fiber optic transport products for
satellite and microwave communications from 1 MHz to 40 GHz. These units can
be used to construct transparent inter- and intra-facility links from 1 meter to
>100 km for RF and microwave signal transport, antenna remoting, video trans-
port, electronic warfare systems and other high-dynamic-range applications.

Ordering Information
Product Number
359A-WW-XXXXXX-YY-ZZ
When ordering replace “WW” with one of the Rack Unit Size Options
When ordering replace “XXXXXX” with one of the Delay Options
When ordering replace “YY” with one of the Connector Type Options
When ordering replace “Z”Z with one of the Optional Features
Coil Type
“A”
A = Standard or

LA = LC/APC
EA = E2000/APC
Optional Features*
“ZZ”
P = Pigtail Leads
B = Bulkhead
PM = Midspan Breakout - Pigtail
BM = Midspan Breakout - Bulkhead
Midspan Breakouts - For some applications, particularly coils greater than 50 km in length for 1550 nm applications, higher signal levels and
more configurability is required. For these cases, midspan breakouts can be placed at every 50 km (about every 245 µs) interval of the 359A
Series Delay and Dispersion Compensation Modules to allow the insertion of optical amplification (EDFA).
Pigtail Leads - If preferred, the standard bulkhead connector input and output of the 359A Series Delay and Dispersion Compensation Modules
can be replaced with a one meter long pigtail with a male connector on the end.
