Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary function of this attenuator?
It is used to reduce the power of an optical signal by a fixed 8 dB to prevent damage to downstream equipment or prevent receiver saturation.
Is this compatible with multimode fiber?
No, this is specifically designed for single-mode fiber applications.
What does the SC/UPC designation mean?
It indicates the connector style is an SC (Subscriber Connector) with a UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) polish, which minimizes back reflection.
Can I use this in 1310 nm and 1550 nm networks?
Yes, this attenuator is specifically designed for dual 1310/1550 nm usage.
Are these compliant with industry standards?
Yes, this component complies with Telcordia GR-910-CORE and GR-1221-CORE standards.
