Specifications

   Description
  • The LC/UPC Fixed Attenuator 5dB is an inline fiber optic device designed to reduce optical signal power by a fixed amount of 5 decibels (dB) in single-mode fiber optic systems. It is commonly used to prevent receiver overload or to balance signal levels in fiber networks.
   Specifications
  • Connector type: LC (Lucent Connector) with UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) polish
  • Attenuation: Fixed 5 dB (±0.5 dB typical tolerance)
  • Fiber type: Single-mode (9/125 µm)
  • Wavelength: Optimized for 1260 nm – 1620 nm (supports 1310 nm & 1550 nm telecom bands)
  • Return loss: Typically =50 dB (UPC polish has less return loss than APC but still good)
  • Insertion loss: 5 dB nominal attenuation plus minimal connector loss
  • Polarization Dependent Loss (PDL): <0.2 dB
  • Operating temperature: –40°C to +80°C
  • Max input power: Up to +23 dBm (200 mW) typical
   Features
  • Fixed 5 dB attenuation: Provides consistent and reliable reduction in optical power
  • UPC polish connectors: Good return loss with flat physical contact, suited for many general telecom and data applications
  • Compact plug-and-play design: Easily inserted between LC patch cables and equipment
  • High mechanical durability: Zirconia ferrules with industry-compliant construction
  • Broad wavelength compatibility: Works well with standard telecom wavelengths
   Ideal Use Cases
  • Signal level adjustment: When optical transmit power exceeds receiver input limits, especially in short fiber runs
  • General telecom & data networks: Suitable for systems where ultra-low back reflection is not critical but stable attenuation is needed
  • Testing and measurement: For equipment calibration and link budget verification
  • Fiber patch panels and distribution frames: Balancing optical power in fiber infrastructure
   Why Choose LC/UPC Fixed Attenuator 5dB?
  • Effective Power Reduction: 5 dB is a common attenuation value to protect receivers and ensure optimal signal levels.
  • Reliable Performance: Factory-calibrated fixed attenuation ensures predictable, repeatable results.
  • Good Return Loss: UPC polish offers good performance for many standard optical systems.
  • Ease of Use: Plug-and-play design means no special setup or calibration needed in the field.
  • Cost-Effective: Usually less expensive than APC versions, making it ideal where ultra-low reflection isn’t mandatory.
