Frequently Asked Questions
What does the "APC" in the connector description mean?
APC stands for Angled Physical Contact, which uses an 8-degree angle on the ferrule face to significantly reduce back-reflection in sensitive high-speed networks.
Is this attenuator compatible with 1550 nm systems?
Yes, this attenuator is specifically designed for dual 1310/1550 nm wavelength operation.
Can I use this with single mode cables?
Yes, this is an optical attenuator optimized exclusively for single mode fiber applications.
What is the attenuation accuracy?
The attenuation accuracy is rated at ± 0.5 dB.
Are these attenuators compliant with industry standards?
Yes, they comply with Telcordia GR-910-CORE and GR-1221-CORE standards.
