Silicon Valley, CA, USA
Overview
This ST UPC male-to-female attenuator is designed for precise signal reduction in singlemode fiber optic systems. By utilizing doped fiber technology, it ensures stable and consistent performance across both 1310nm and 1550nm operating windows.
The buildout style allows for easy integration into existing network infrastructure by connecting directly between a patch cable and an adapter or equipment port. It is an ideal solution for balancing signal power levels in telecommunications, data centers, and outside plant networks to prevent receiver saturation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this attenuator compatible with both 1310nm and 1550nm systems?
Yes, it is designed for use in both 1310nm and 1550nm operating windows.
Can I use this for multimode fiber?
No, this is specified for singlemode fiber optic applications.
What does the male-to-female configuration mean?
It means one end connects directly into an existing adapter (female port), and the other end acts as a plug (male port) for another cable, enabling simple inline installation.
What polish does this connector use?
It uses a UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) polish.
Are other attenuation levels available?
Yes, fixed attenuation values are generally available in 1dB increments from 1dB to 20dB.
