FC Fiber Optic Attenuator

Fiber Optic Attenuators are used in the fiber optic communications to reduce the optical fiber power at a certain value, the most commonly used type is male to female fiber optic attenuator, it has the optical fiber connector at one side and a female type fiber optic adapter at the other, inside, there is a piece of attenuation optical fiber, and the fiber optic attenuator name is based on the connector type and the attenuation value.

Available in both inline and terminator/build-out styles, SINO OPTIC’s fixed attenuators offer multiple options including SC, LC, ST, FC, and MU connector types and definable attenuation values from 1db to 30dB.

FC Fiber Optic Attenuator from SINO OPTIC provides defined control of optical signals in both integrated and add-on products. Depending on the project or need, fixed male to female attenuators can limit, or attenuate, the amount of light passing through to the exact level your project or application requires.
