FC/APC Fiber optic Attenuator, Male to Female, 1~25dB attenuator
FC/APC Fiber optic Attenuator, Male to Female, 1~25dB attenuator, or fiber optic attenuator, is a device used to reduce the power level of an optical signal, either in free space or in an optical fiber. The basic types of optical attenuators are fixed, step-wise variable, and continuously variable.
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.
