Optical Attenuator NanoConnect SC/UPC-SC/UPC Female Singlemode 3 dB

The SC/UPC Fiber Optic Attenuator 3 dB is a passive optical component designed to precisely reduce the power of an optical signal without distortion. This attenuator provides optimal input signal power adjustment to maintain stable operation of the optical network, preventing overload of optical receivers.

The attenuator is compatible with fiber optic equipment operating at the two primary wavelengths - 1310 nm and 1550 nm on single-mode fiber. It is ideal for a wide range of applications, including local and trunk networks, cable network equipment, communication systems, and for performing stress testing of network channels.

Features:

• High attenuation accuracy up to ±0.3 dB for ensuring the required signal strength.
• Maximum operating power (1 W).
• Low return loss and PDL: the ferrule and sleeve are well-polished to minimize the distance between fiber ends.
• Simple build-out attenuator design made from durable plastic.

Applications:

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