Description
FC Male to Female Fiber Optic Attenuator, 0~30dB Optional, Fixed Attenuation
FC male to female attenuator is one kind of fixed optical build-out attenuators that are generally used in single-mode long-haul applications to prevent optical overload at the receiver. These FC attenuators can reduce a fixed level by 1dB to 30dB in a fiber link so as to ensure the optical power in a stable and desired level without any changes on its original transmission wave.
The Arkoptics FC optical attenuators are ion-doped fiber attenuators consist of a small fiber piece along with metal ion doping. There are two primary reasons why these doped fiber attenuators are preferred:
1. Not susceptible to dirt, moisture, or temperature variations
2. Provide a stable attenuation performance over wide wavelength variations.
