12dB LC Apc UPC Fixed Optical Attenuator Single Mode Fiber Optic Attenuator
Product Introduction of Fiber Optic Attenuator:
Fiber optic attenuators are devices that reduce (attenuate) the strength of a fiber optic signal within a fiber-optic network.
Attenuators are usually used when the signal arriving at the receiver is too strong and hence may overpower the receiving elements.
Sometimes attenuators are also used for stress testing a network link by incrementally reducing the signal strength (increasing the dB attenuation) until the optical link fails, thus determining the signal’s existing safety margin.

Details of Fiber Optic Attenuator:
Other Types:
Optical fiber attenuators are classified into the following four types according to the interface:
♦ SC fiber attenuator: applies to the SC fiber interface, which is similar to the RJ-45 interface, but the SC interface is flatter and the contact plate inside is a copper column.Fixed the attenuation power of the optical fiber attenuator is fixed, such as 1dB, 5dB, or 10dB. For example, the attenuation power of a -3 db optical fiber attenuator is 3dB. Such fiber attenuators are commonly used in telecommunications networks, fiber optic test equipment, local area network (LAN) and cable television (CATV) systems. Fixed fiber attenuator can be divided into line type and connector type.
♦ LC optical fiber attenuator: Applied to LC optical fiber interface, can be used to connect SFP module, adopts modular jack (RJ) latch mechanism, easy to operate, often used in routers;The connector optical fiber attenuator has the same appearance as the optical connector. The only difference is that the two ends of the connector optical fiber attenuator are male connector ports and female connector ports. The optical fiber attenuator either uses air gaps to achieve attenuation, or attenuates the optical fiber by mixing metal ions to achieve attenuation.
♦ FC fiber attenuator: Used for FC fiber interfaces. The outer layer is wrapped with a metal jacket and fastened by turnbuckle. Generally used in ODF side, mostly used for distribution frame;The attenuation power of the adjustable fiber attenuator is not static, but changes with the change of conditions. The change span is 0.5dB, 20dB, 50dB, etc., and some even reach the accuracy of 0.1dB and 0.01dB. Tunable fiber attenuators are generally used to accurately test and measure optical fibers, and are also widely used in Erbium-doped fiber amplifiers. Their function is to balance the optical signal power in different channels.
♦ ST fiber attenuator: Applied to the ST fiber interface. It is usually used on the fiber distribution frame. The enclosure is round and fastened by turnbuckles.
