FC/APC Fiber optic Attenuator, Male to Female, 1~25dB attenuator

Fiber Optic Attenuator is a passive device used to reduce the amplitude of a light signal without significantly changing the wave form itself. The basic types of optical attenuators are fixed and variable, and are designed to be used with various kinds of fiber optic connectors. The attenuators can be female to female or male to female.

FC APC single mode fiber optic attenuator and FC PC single mode fiber optic attenuator are available, both of them are with ceramic sleeves and accurate FC connection interface. The attenuation range is from 1dB to 30dB available. The FC fiber attenuator features high power endurance and low back reflection. They are used to reduce the optical power in the fiber optic links.

offers high quality build-out attenuators ranging from 1 to 30dB. Each attenuator is made with continuous light-absorbing and metal-ion doped fiber which offers excellent environmental stability and low back reflection. The front of the attenuator is a male plug connector style that allows the attenuators to be plugged directly into receiver equipment or adaptors in patch panel. The rear is a female socket adaptor that allows a patch cord to be mated into the back of the attenuator. The attenuator is available in SC, FC, ST, LC, and MU type. In a fiber optic system, build out attenuators play an important role in controlling optical power levels in Telecommunications, CATV applications and other single mode fiber optic communications applications. As such, they must offer consistent performance over a range of operating conditions so attenuation levels remain constant and predictable.
