Optical Attenuator NanoConnect LC/APC-LC/APC Male to Female Singlemode 5 dB

The LC/APC Fiber Optic Attenuator at 5 dB is a passive optical component designed to precisely reduce optical signal power without distortion. This adapter ensures optimal adjustment of the input signal power to maintain stable operation of the optical network, preventing optical receiver overload.

The attenuator is compatible with fiber optic equipment operating at two main frequencies: 1310 nm and 1550 nm on single-mode fiber. It is ideal for a wide range of applications, including local and backbone networks, cable network equipment, communication systems, and network channel stress testing.

Features:

• High attenuation accuracy up to ±1 dB to ensure the required signal strength.
• Maximum operating power (1 W).
• Low return loss and PDL: the tip and sleeve are finely polished to reduce the distance between fiber ends.
• Simple build-out attenuator design, made of durable plastic.

Applications:

• Fiber optic distribution frames
• Fiber optic network systems, sensors
• High-speed fiber optic transmission systems
• Cable television systems (CATV)
• Dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) systems
• Optical add-drop multiplexers (OADM)
• Stress testing and evaluation of optical lines
