Frequently Asked Questions

What does the 19 dB attenuation value signify?
This refers to the amount of signal strength (in decibels) reduced by the attenuator when installed in the fiber link.

Is this attenuator compatible with APC connectors?
No, this is a UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) attenuator and should not be mated with APC (Angled Physical Contact) connectors.

Can this be used for 1550 nm networks?
Yes, it is designed for dual-wavelength operation at both 1310 nm and 1550 nm.

Is this suitable for high-power fiber amplifier systems?
Yes, it features high optical power endurance designed for such applications.

What type of ferrule is used?
It utilizes a high-precision Zirconia ferrule for durability and reliable optical performance.
