Fibre optic attenuator SC/APC(F) - SC/APC(M) 17 dB adapter type, 1240-1625 nm

An optical attenuator makes it possible to adjust the optical signal power level so that it is suitable for receiving devices. It is placed in the optical path before the detector, ensuring that the optical power after passing through it remains within the receiver’s operating range. After passing through the attenuator, the signal is reduced by 17 dB relative to the transmit power, which helps prevent damage to the receiving system over short distances.
The attenuator is compatible with SC/APC connectors in female (F) and male (M) versions and operates within a wavelength range of 1240 - 1625 nm. Installation and removal are quick and intuitive.

SC connectors were originally designed for telecommunications applications, but they are also used in active devices such as video converters and media converters. They offer quick and easy connections and are highly resistant to connection faults. Their design ensures secure and stable installation.
In addition to telecommunications, SC fiber connectors are used in LAN and WAN networks, CATV systems, measurement technologies, sensor systems, and railway infrastructure.
