Optical attenuator SC/UPC (F) - SC/UPC (M) Singlemode 8dB 54198

Fiber Optic Attenuator SC/UPC – Precise Signal Adjustment

The SC/UPC fiber optic attenuator (female-male) is a key component in fiber optic transmission systems, used to reduce the power of the optical signal. Its application allows for adjusting the signal level to the receiver's sensitivity, which is particularly important in complex telecommunications networks and cable televisions. This device ensures stable and reliable system operation, minimizing the risk of overdriving or signal loss.

Application and Benefits

The fiber optic attenuator finds wide application in installations carried out by professional installers as well as in systems used by end customers. Thanks to it, it is possible to:

• Signal Optimization: Precise adjustment of signal power to the receiver ensures its correct interpretation and minimizes interference.
• Device Protection: Reducing power prevents damage to sensitive optical components, such as receiver diodes.
• Transmission Stability: Low reflection coefficient and resistance to polarization and vibration guarantee stable and reliable data transmission.
• Easy Installation: Simple construction allows for quick and trouble-free installation and removal of the attenuator in existing infrastructure.
• Durability and Resistance: High shock resistance makes the device perfect for harsh working conditions.

Construction and Parameters

The attenuator has been designed with reliability and ease of use in mind. It uses SC/UPC connectors (male-female) providing a precise connection with other elements of the fiber optic system. The device is characterized by an attenuation of 8dB, which means a reduction of signal power by 8 decibels. Designed for operation with single-mode fiber in the wavelength range of 1310nm - 1550nm. Made of high-quality materials, it ensures long-term and trouble-free operation.

Additional information regarding safety during use, in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2023/988, emphasizes the need for caution when handling fiber optic elements – avoiding excessive bending of fibers, protecting against moisture, and avoiding direct viewing into active connectors. Remember to follow safety rules during installation and maintenance!
