Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of this attenuator?
This device is used to reduce the intensity of an optical signal to prevent receiver saturation in high-power fiber optic links.
Is this compatible with both 1310nm and 1550nm wavelengths?
Yes, this attenuator is specifically designed to function correctly at both 1310nm and 1550nm operating wavelengths.
How does it install into my network?
It features a male-to-female ST interface, allowing you to plug it directly into a female adapter or equipment port, with your existing cable assembly plugging into the female end.
What does the 7dB value signify?
The 7dB value represents the amount of power loss the signal will experience when passing through the device.
Can I use this for multimode fiber?
No, this product is designed for singlemode applications.
