Description

This 5dB LC single-mode fibre optic attenuator is a precision-engineered passive device designed to reduce the optical power level in a fibre optic link. It is the ideal solution for protecting sensitive optical receivers from signal overload and ensuring a stable, optimal signal level, preventing signal distortion and lowering bit error rates.
Key features

Fixed 5dB attenuation: Provides a precise and stable 20dB (decibel) reduction in optical power, eliminating the need for complex, manual adjustments. This makes it a perfect fit for applications where a consistent and significant signal reduction is required.
LC male-to-female connector: The convenient plug-in style is designed for easy insertion directly onto a patch cord. It features a male LC connector on one end and a female LC socket on the other, allowing it to seamlessly integrate into existing network setups.
Single-mode compatibility: Optimised for use with single-mode fibre optic networks, operating across both the 1310nm and 1550nm wavelength windows. This ensures compatibility with a wide range of single-mode devices and applications.
High-quality performance: With excellent return loss (typically ≥55dB) and low insertion loss, this attenuator minimises unwanted back-reflection and ensures signal integrity is maintained.
Durable and robust design: Constructed with high-grade materials, this fixed attenuator is built for reliability and a long service life in various network environments.
Easy installation: The compact, plug-and-play design allows for simple and fast installation by simply clipping it into place.
Wide application range: Suitable for use in a variety of fibre optic communication systems, including CATV, data centres, enterprise networks, and test equipment calibration.
