LC/UPC ATTENUATOR -10db -FIXED FIBER OPTIC

The LC/UPC Attenuator -10dB is a fixed fiber optic attenuator designed to precisely reduce the optical power level by 10 decibels (dB) in single-mode fiber optic systems. It features an LC/UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) connector interface, ensuring low back reflection and compatibility with other UPC polished LC connectors. This attenuator is essential for preventing optical receiver overload by reducing the intensity of the incoming light signal. Typically designed as a male-female component, it can be easily inserted in-line between fiber optic cables or connected directly to equipment. Optimized for operation within the common single-mode transmission wavelengths of 1310 nm and 1550 nm, this device exhibits low insertion loss (beyond the intended 10 dB attenuation) and minimal polarization dependent loss (PDL). Constructed with a durable metal or plastic housing, it is designed to perform reliably across a broad range of operating temperatures. Fixed attenuators like this -10dB LC/UPC unit are vital tools in telecommunications, data centers, and other single-mode fiber optic networks for managing optical power levels and ensuring the proper functioning of optical receivers.
