FC/UPC ATTENUATOR -10db -FIXED FIBER OPTIC

The FC/UPC Attenuator -10dB is a fixed fiber optic attenuator designed to reduce the optical power level by a precise 10 decibels (dB) in single-mode fiber optic systems. It features an FC/UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) connector interface, ensuring low back reflection and compatibility with other UPC polished connectors. This type of attenuator is crucial for preventing receiver overload in optical networks by reducing the intensity of the optical signal. It typically comes in a male-female configuration, allowing for easy in-line connection between fiber optic cables or equipment. The attenuator is designed to operate effectively within the common single-mode wavelengths of 1310 nm and 1550 nm, exhibiting low insertion loss (beyond the intended 10 dB attenuation) and minimal polarization dependent loss (PDL). The robust construction, with either a metal or plastic housing, ensures durability and reliable performance across a wide operating temperature range. Fixed attenuators like this -10dB FC/UPC unit are essential components in telecommunications, CATV, and data communication networks for optimizing signal levels and ensuring the proper operation of optical receivers.
