Silicon Valley, CA, USA
Overview
This male-to-female buildout attenuator is designed for use in singlemode fiber optic networks. It incorporates high-quality doped fiber, ensuring consistent performance at both 1310nm and 1550nm operating wavelengths. The compact, modular design allows for seamless integration into existing connections or patch panels without requiring additional cabling.
This attenuator is suitable for environments such as telecommunications and data centers where signal power needs to be precisely reduced to prevent receiver saturation. Its construction supports high-durability, long-term performance even under varied thermal and mechanical conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the male-to-female design allow for?
The male-to-female buildout design allows the attenuator to be plugged directly into an existing adapter or patch panel port, effectively acting as an extension.
Is this attenuator compatible with both 1310nm and 1550nm?
Yes, it is designed for use in both standard singlemode operating windows.
What is the return loss rating?
This model features a UPC polish with a return loss of greater than 55 dB.
Can this be used in outdoor plant enclosures?
While primarily designed for patch panels, its operating temperature range (-40°C to +80°C) allows for use in controlled outdoor environments.
What is the durability of the connector?
It is rated for 500 mating cycles with minimal change in attenuation.
