LC/APC Fixed Fiber Optic Attenuator
Fiber Optic Attenuators are used in the fiber optic communications to reduce the optical fiber power at a certain value, the most commonly used type is male to female fiber optic attenuator, it has the fiber optic connector at one side and a female type fiber optic adapter at the other, inside, there is a piece of attenuation optical fiber, and the fiber optic attenuator name is based on the connector type and the attenuation value.
Sinocomms' singlemode and multimode, fixed and variable fiber optic attenuators are wave length insensitive and offer multiple options including SC, LC, ST, FC, MU and E2000 connector types and definable attenuation values from 1db to 30dB, including Zero dB (MM only).
Our single-mode and multi-mode fixed fiber optic attenuators as well as our variable fiber optic attenuators are passive components that reduces the amplitude of a light signal without significantly changing the wave form itself. Sinocomms strongly recommends this optical component for Dense Wave Division Multiplexing (DWDM) and Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) where the receiver cannot accept the signal generated from a high-power light source.
LC/APC Fixed Fiber Optic Attenuator from Sinocomms provides defined control of optical signals in both integrated and add-on products. Depending on the project or need, fixed fiber optic attenuators can limit, or attenuate, the amount of light passing through to the exact level your project or application requires.
