Single-mode attenuators are used in communication systems to reduce optical power launched onto photo detectors. These high-performance devices are designed to give accurate attenuation over a wide range of wavelengths. The plug-type configuration enables you to use them directly on the ends of the fibre jumpers and to insert them directly into the adapter.
Available in FC and SC connector styles, with a PC or an APC finish and ultra-low return loss. All attenuators come to you from a world-class manufacturing facility backed by 20 years of experience in manufacturing fibre optic passive and active devices. Our products are in computer networking, telecommunications and cable TV applications worldwide.
