Fiber Optic Adapter/Attenuators

SC to SC UPC Singlemode Female Fixed Type Attenuator Fiber Optic Air Gap Attenuator 5dB Flange

Product Description

Fiber Optic Attenuator is used in a wide variety of applications and can satisfy almost any requirement where a reduction in power is needed. We supply various kinds of fiber attenuators, including LC, SC, and ST, FC, and Variable fiber optic attenuators. This type of optical attenuators utilizes the air gap between two connectors to achieve the optical attenuation. This fixed optical attenuator has a similar structure of a standard female-female optical adapter. It is simple, low-cost and compact. SC/UPC to SC/UPC singlemode fiber optical attenuators,are used in optical communications to reduce optical fiber power at a certain level. Generally, the attenuator types are classified by connector types and attenuation levels. A common version is the female to male plug type bulkhead attenuator which has a connector at one side and a adapter at the other side. Optical attenuator is a passive device used to reduce the power level of an optical signal. It is generally used in single-mode long-haul applications to prevent optical overload at the receiver.
