Fiber Optic Adapter/Attenuators

ST/UPC Male to Female Singlemode Plug-in Fixed Fiber Optical Attenuator, 1~25dB

Item Description

Fiber optic attenuator or optical attenuator is a passive component 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. However, generally the optical attenuator classified as fixed or variable attenuators. What’s more, they can be classified as LC, SC, ST, FC, MU, E2000 etc. according to the different types of connectors. Anetfiber provides optical attenuators with various connector types, such as LC/FC/SC/ST/MU/E2000, available with UPC or APC polish, male or female interface. Our fixed fiber attenuators with attenuation range from 1 dB to 30 dB (step by 1 dB), while the variable optical attenuators (generally used as in-line attenuators) can be adjusted from 0 to 60 dB. This Fiber Optic Attenuator, Fixed ST/UPC 20dB is necessary to prevent over saturating an optical receiver when the optical power is too high. Using attenuators will ensure low bit error rates and prevent damage to receiving components.
