ST MALE-FEMALE ATTENUATOR 10DB

The ST Male-Female Attenuator 10dB is a fixed fiber optic attenuator designed to reduce the optical power level by a precise 10 decibels (dB). It features an ST male connector on one end and an ST female connector on the other, allowing for easy in-line connection within fiber optic systems. This type of attenuator is essential for preventing receiver overload by reducing the intensity of the optical signal to an optimal level. It is available for both single-mode (SM) and multimode (MM) fiber applications, with specific wavelength ranges optimized for each. The polish type is typically PC (Physical Contact) or UPC (Ultra Physical Contact), ensuring good physical contact and minimizing back reflection. This attenuator 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 for reliable performance across a wide operating temperature range. ST male-female attenuators are commonly used in telecommunications, data networks, and other fiber optic systems to manage optical power levels and ensure the proper operation of receiving equipment.
