Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary use of this attenuator?
It is used to reduce the optical power in a single mode fiber link to prevent receiver saturation in fiber amplifiers, DWDM, and telecom systems.
Is this compatible with APC connectors?
No, this is a UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) attenuator and should not be mated with APC (Angled Physical Contact) connectors.
What wavelength range does it support?
It is designed for standard single mode telecommunications windows, specifically 1310 nm and 1550 nm.
Does it support high optical power?
Yes, it features high optical power endurance suitable for typical infrastructure equipment.
What does the ± 0.5 dB accuracy mean?
It indicates the tolerance of the attenuation level; the actual attenuation provided will be between 0.5 dB and 1.5 dB.
