Optical Fiber 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 optical fiber attenuator, it has the optical fiber 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’ fixed attenuators offer multiple options including SC, LC, ST, FC, and MU connector types and definable attenuation values from 1db to 30dB.
LC/UPC 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 attenuators can limit, or attenuate, the amount of light passing through to the exact level your project or application requires.
