Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary use of this attenuator?
It is used to reduce the optical power in single-mode fiber links by a fixed 3 dB, preventing saturation in receivers and balancing power levels in DWDM and amplifier systems.
Is this compatible with APC connectors?
No, this is a UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) connector type and is not compatible with APC (Angled Physical Contact) connectors.
What wavelengths does this support?
It is designed for dual-wavelength operation at 1310 nm and 1550 nm.
What does the return loss rating mean?
A return loss of >55 dB indicates high performance in minimizing back-reflected light, which is crucial for maintaining signal integrity.
Does it meet industry standards?
Yes, it complies with Telcordia GR-910-CORE and GR-1221-CORE standards.
