SC Attenuator Male to Female Singlemode 1310/1550 UPC 1dB

Overview

The SC Male-to-Female Attenuator is a precision fiber optic component designed to reduce signal power in singlemode fiber systems. It is engineered for consistent performance across both 1310nm and 1550nm operating wavelengths, making it an ideal choice for balancing power levels in telecommunications, data center, and network testing environments.

Featuring a compact male-to-female (build-out) configuration, this attenuator can be directly connected to equipment ports or patch panels without requiring additional cabling. This design simplifies installation and helps maintain stable signal integrity in high-density network setups.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of this attenuator?
This device is used to reduce the optical power level in a fiber link to prevent receiver saturation in high-power networks.

Can this be used on multimode fiber?
No, this is specifically designed for singlemode applications.

Does it work for both 1310nm and 1550nm?
Yes, it is designed for operation across both common singlemode wavelengths.

What does Male-to-Female mean?
This indicates the attenuator connects directly to a female bulkhead adapter (female side) and allows a cable to plug into it (male side), acting as a bridge.

Is the attenuation fixed or adjustable?
The attenuation value is fixed at 1dB.
