Fiber Optic Attenuator is a passive device used to reduce the amplitude of a light signal without significantly changing
the wave form itself. The basic types of optical attenuators are fixed and variable, and are designed to be used with
various kinds of fiber optic connectors. The attenuators can be female to female or male to female.
FC APC single mode fiber optic attenuator and FC PC single mode fiber optic attenuator are available, both of them
are with ceramic sleeves and accurate FC connection interface. The attenuation range is from 1dB to 30dB available.
The FC fiber attenuator features high power endurance and low back reflection. They are used to reduce the optical
power in the fiber optic links.
