SC Female-to-Female Bulkhead Attenuator Singlemode 1310/1550nm 10dB

Overview

The SC Female-to-Female Bulkhead Attenuator is a precision fiber optic component designed to reduce the signal power of singlemode fiber links. By providing a fixed 10dB attenuation, it prevents signal saturation in high-power optical systems, ensuring optimal performance for sensitive networking equipment.

This bulkhead-style attenuator features a robust housing designed for standard panel mounting. It is optimized for 1310nm and 1550nm operating wavelengths, making it suitable for both short-reach enterprise networks and long-haul telecommunications environments.
