Key Features

Engineered For Performance

Threaded Coupling Security

Screw-on threaded mechanism locks the attenuator firmly in place, preventing accidental disconnection in vibration-prone telecom rooms, test benches, and industrial environments.

Precision Attenuation Control

Factory-calibrated fixed attenuation from 1dB to 25dB with ±1.0dB accuracy provides reliable, drift-free signal level reduction across the full operating temperature range.

Test Equipment Compatible

FC interface is the standard connector on OTDR, optical power meters, and light sources, making this attenuator ideal for laboratory calibration and field testing setups.

Extended Temperature Range

Operating range of -40 to +85 degrees C supports deployment in outdoor cabinets, rooftop equipment, and uncontrolled environments without attenuation drift.

Typical Applications

01

Telecom Equipment Rooms

Optical power adjustment at OLT line cards, DWDM transponders, and EDFA outputs in central office and cable landing station equipment racks.

02

Test & Measurement

Calibrated attenuation for OTDR dynamic range testing, receiver sensitivity measurements, and optical link budget verification with FC-terminated test instruments.

03

Industrial Fiber Networks

Signal level management in factory automation, oil and gas SCADA, and utility monitoring networks where threaded connections resist mechanical vibration.
