LC/APC 5dB Fixed Fiber Optic Attenuator Singlemode | For Data Centers & Telecom (Green)

Specifications

   Description 
  • These attenuators are inline, single-mode (9/125µm), LC male to LC female connectors using Angled Physical Contact (APC) polish—offering very low back reflection (~=60dB RL). They are factory-calibrated to 5dB attenuation with ±0.5dB accuracy for the 1–10dB range.
   Specifications
  • Wavelength compatibility: ~1260nm to 1620nm (optimized at 1310/1550nm) 
  • Return loss: =50dB UPC; =60–65dB APC 
  • Polarization-dependent loss (PDL): <0.2dB 
  • Max input power: up to 200mW (+23dBm) 
  • Operating temperature: –40°C to +80°C, humidity tolerance up to ~95% RH 
   Features
  • Fixed attenuation (5dB): Easy and reliable drop-in reduction of optical power.
  • Compact plug-style design: Connects directly between LC patch cable and equipment.
  • APC polish: Ensures minimal reflection, critical in high-performance or DWDM systems.
  • Robust and repeatable: Zirconia ferrules, Telcordia-compliant manufacturing, and high mechanical durability.
  • Universal dual-wavelength support: Covers both 1310nm and 1550nm fiber links.
   Ideal Use Cases
  • Short fiber runs (<200m) with high-power optics (e.g. 10Gbps LR or BiDi modules), where you need to prevent receiver overload or errors 
  • Lab testing or system calibration, where precise attenuation is required for benchmarking or measurement 
  • DWDM or telecom builds using LC/APC interfaces that demand high return-loss performance.
  • Protecting extended-range optics on short patch links to ensure signal remains inside the transceiver’s dynamic range.
   Why Choose It?
  • Prevents Receiver Damage & Overload: Some long-reach optics deliver too much power for short cables—even minimal fiber lengths can push RX into overload range. A 5dB attenuator brings the signal safely within spec—a common recommendation on network forums 
  • Fixed & Precise Attenuation: You don’t need to guess. ±0.5dB tolerance ensures consistent performance across deployments.
  • High Return-Loss APC Interface: APC polish rejects back reflections critical in high-speed, high-reliability systems.
  • Easy to Deploy & Affordable: Plug-and-play installation makes it practical in live environments or labs.
