Specifications

   Description
  • The LC/APC Fixed Attenuator 10dB is an inline optical device designed to reduce optical signal power by a fixed amount of 10 decibels (dB) in single-mode fiber optic links.
   Specifications
  • Connector type: LC (Lucent Connector) with APC (Angled Physical Contact) polish
  • Attenuation: Fixed 10 dB (±0.5 dB typical tolerance)
  • Fiber type: Single-mode, 9/125 µm
  • Wavelength: Optimized for 1260 nm – 1620 nm (works well at 1310 nm and 1550 nm)
  • Return loss: High return loss =60 dB (due to APC polish), minimizing back reflectio
  • Insertion loss: Attenuator itself adds 10 dB nominal attenuation with minimal additional loss
  • Polarization Dependent Loss (PDL): Typically <0.2 dB
  • Operating temperature: –40°C to +80°C
  • Max input power: Typically up to +23 dBm (200 mW)
   Features
  • Fixed 10 dB attenuation: Reliable, consistent reduction of optical power
  • APC polish connectors: Minimize back reflections, essential for high-speed and DWDM networks
  • Compact, plug-and-play design: Easy insertion into LC/APC fiber optic links
  • High durability: Zirconia ferrules, compliant with industry standards (e.g., Telcordia GR-326)
  • Broad wavelength range: Supports common telecom wavelengths
   Ideal Use Cases
  • Preventing receiver overload: When optical transmit power is too strong for the receiver, especially on short fiber links, a 10 dB attenuator brings signal power safely into the dynamic range.
  • Lab testing and calibration: Ensuring accurate measurement of signal levels without damaging sensitive equipment.
  • DWDM and high-performance optical networks: APC polish ensures very low back reflection, critical in dense wavelength division multiplexing systems.
  • Optical power management: Balancing power levels in complex fiber optic systems to maintain signal integrity.
   Why Choose the LC/APC 10dB Fixed Attenuator?
  • Reliable Power Reduction: A fixed 10 dB drop is a commonly needed attenuation value in fiber networks to prevent optical receiver saturation and maintain performance.
  • Minimized Signal Reflection: APC connectors dramatically reduce back reflection, important for sensitive optical modules and long-reach systems.
  • Consistent and Stable Performance: Factory calibrated with ±0.5 dB tolerance ensures predictable behavior in any deployment.
  • Easy Installation: Plug directly between patch cables and equipment, no configuration needed.
  • Robust Build Quality: Suitable for a variety of environments and ensures long-term reliability.
