A set of 10 FC/A attenuation elements (male and female) with varying attenuation levels: 0 dB, 3 dB, 10 dB, 12 dB, 15 dB, 20 dB, 7 dB and 5 dB. Purpose and benefits - Reduces signal power in fiber optic systems to protect receivers, prevent overload, and optimize link budgets. - Flexible attenuation options allow precise matching to diverse network requirements. - Compact, fixed FM attenuator design with a flange for secure, stable installation. Compatibility and build - Compatible with FC/A connectors for straightforward installation. - Fixed FM attenuator with flange provides reliable, durable performance and secure mounting. Key attributes - Function: precise signal level control for safe and reliable fiber links. - Compatibility: FC/A connectors for easy integration into existing systems. - Size: compact form-factor suitable for panel or enclosure mounting. - Material: robust construction (design focus on durability and stability). - Performance: a range of attenuation values to tailor link budgets accurately. Use scenarios - Lab calibration: simulate different optical budgets on a test bench by selecting appropriate attenuation values. - Network maintenance: adjust link gain in live fiber links to prevent receiver saturation and ensure consistent performance. - System commissioning: verify receiver thresholds and overall link reliability by applying known attenuation steps during commissioning.
