Frequently Asked Questions
What does the LC/UPC designation mean?
It indicates the connector type (LC) and the polish style (Ultra Physical Contact), which is standard for high-performance single-mode connections.
Can this attenuator be used for multi-mode fiber?
No, this model is specifically designed for single-mode fiber applications and will not perform correctly with multi-mode cabling.
Does this require special tools to install?
No, it is a standard fixed attenuator that functions as a simple male-to-female adapter.
Are there different attenuation levels available?
Yes, fixed attenuators are available in various decibel ratings depending on your specific signal power requirements.
Is this attenuator bi-directional?
Yes, this fixed attenuator can be used in either direction for signal attenuation.
