Overview
The LC/UPC Male-to-Female Singlemode Attenuator is a precision fiber optic component designed to reduce signal power in singlemode networks. It features a compact build-out design that allows for direct connection between an existing patch cord and a device port, providing a fixed 7dB signal reduction.
Equipped with doped fiber, this attenuator is optimized for performance at both 1310nm and 1550nm operating wavelengths. It is intended for use in telecommunications, data centers, and enterprise fiber optic environments where signal power management is necessary to prevent receiver saturation.
