Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of this attenuator?
This device is used to reduce the optical power of a signal by 15 dB, which is necessary when the signal strength at the receiver is too high, potentially causing bit errors or damaging equipment.
Can this be used for multi-mode fiber?
No, this model is designed specifically for single mode fiber applications.
What is the connector configuration?
It features an LC/UPC male-to-female interface, allowing it to be plugged directly into an LC port while providing an LC port on the other end.
Are there other attenuation values available?
Yes, this series includes various fixed attenuation values to accommodate different signal link requirements.
Does it meet industry standards?
Yes, it complies with Telcordia GR-910-CORE and GR-1221-CORE standards for reliability and performance.
