Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary use for this attenuator?
It is used to reduce the intensity of an optical signal by 14 dB in single-mode fiber links to prevent receiver saturation.

Is this compatible with SC connectors?
No, this model uses LC/UPC connectors. An adapter would be required for integration with SC ports.

Does this support both 1310 and 1550 nm wavelengths?
Yes, this attenuator is designed to perform accurately across both standard telecommunication operating windows.

What does the "UPC" designation mean?
UPC stands for Ultra Physical Contact, referring to the polish type of the connector ferrule, which provides a high-quality connection with low back-reflection.

Is this device TAA compliant?
No, this specific part is marked as Non-TAA compliant.
