Specifications

   Description:
  • The LC/UPC Variable Optical Attenuator is a precision passive device that allows manual or mechanical adjustment of optical signal attenuation in fiber optic systems. Designed with the compact LC connector and Ultra Physical Contact (UPC) polish, it is ideal for high-density environments like data centers and telecom networks where accurate optical power control is required. This VOA is typically used in single-mode fiber systems, offering an adjustable attenuation range (usually 0–30 dB) to simulate distance, balance power, or protect optical receivers.
   Features:
  • Variable Attenuation Range: Adjustable from 0 dB up to ~30 dB
  • Connector Type: LC/UPC (small form-factor for high-density setups)
  • Polish Type: UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) for low reflectivity
  • Operating Wavelengths: 1260–1650 nm (wide single-mode range)
  • Return Loss: = 55 dB (UPC type)
  • Insertion Loss: Typically = 0.5 dB (excluding attenuation)
  • Form Factor: Compact, lightweight, and easy to integrate into patch panels
  • Durability: >1000 mating cycles
  • Manual or Screw-type Adjustment: Depending on the model
   Specifications:
  • Attenuation Range: 0 dB to 30 dB (variable)
  • Connector Type: LC/UPC
  • Wavelength Range: 1260 nm – 1650 nm
  • Return Loss: = 55 dB
  • Insertion Loss: = 0.5 dB (excluding set attenuation)
  • Max Optical Power: = 300 mW
  • Operating Temperature: -40°C to +75°C
  • Storage Temperature: -40°C to +85°C
  • Fiber Compatibility: Single-mode (SMF-28 or equivalent)
   Ideal Applications:
  • Lab Testing and R&D: Simulate variable signal loss in controlled environments
  • Telecom & Optical Networks: Prevent receiver overdrive in short-reach or loopback tests
  • Data Centers: Fine-tune power levels across high-density fiber arrays
  • DWDM/CWDM Systems: Equalize power across multiple optical channels
  • FTTx Networks: Maintain optimal signal strength without hardware reconfiguration
   Why Choose LC/UPC Variable Optical Attenuator?
  • Compact Form Factor: LC design is ideal for dense patch panels and tight spaces
  • High Precision Control: Easily adjustable attenuation for accurate signal tuning
  • Low Reflectance: UPC polish ensures excellent return loss for clean signals
  • Flexible Use: Suitable for both temporary testing and semi-permanent installation
  • Environmentally Compliant: RoHS certified and made with quality, safe materials
