Frequently Asked Questions
What does the 2 dB value mean?
This indicates the amount of signal reduction the attenuator provides, which is used to prevent receiver saturation in high-power fiber links.
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 as it will damage the fiber end-faces.
What wavelengths does this support?
This attenuator is designed for dual-wavelength usage at 1310 nm and 1550 nm.
What is the primary material of the ferrule?
It features a Zirconia ceramic ferrule for high-precision alignment and longevity.
Does this meet industry standards?
Yes, it complies with Telcordia GR-910-CORE and GR-1221-CORE standards.
