ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is an optical transmission device with a simple configuration that can attenuate an input optical power only when it is necessary so that it falls within a predetermined range, and can suppress insertion loss when it is unnecessary. A variable optical attenuator is configured pluggable. A pluggable variable optical attenuator is equipped with an optical connector that is an interface of an optical signal and an electrical signal connector for receiving an electrical signal that specifies the amount of control used for feedback-controlling the attenuation, and controls the attenuation depending on the input optical power of the optical transmission board. Moreover, an optical through that has the same shape as the variable optical attenuator being configured pluggable and that is configured pluggable is prepared.
