Specifications

   Description
  • A Male-Female LC/APC Buildout Attenuator 10dB is a fixed optical fiber attenuator designed to reduce the optical signal power by exactly 10 decibels (dB). It features an LC/APC connector with a male connector on one end and a female connector on the other, commonly used to extend fiber optic cables while simultaneously providing signal attenuation.
  • The APC (Angled Physical Contact) polish reduces back reflections, making it ideal for high-performance optical networks requiring low return loss. This buildout attenuator is typically installed in-line in fiber optic systems to protect sensitive components or balance optical power levels.
   Features
  • Fixed Attenuation: Precisely attenuates signal by 10 dB.
  • Connector Type: Male to Female LC/APC connectors for easy buildout or extension.
  • Low Insertion Loss: Minimal additional loss besides the designed attenuation.
  • High Return Loss: APC connectors provide = 60 dB return loss, reducing reflections.
  • Single Mode Fiber Compatible: Suitable for 9/125 µm fiber.
  • Compact and Durable: Small form factor for easy installation in tight spaces.
  • Buildout Function: Extends fiber cable length while attenuating signal.
  • Stable and Reliable: Fixed attenuation with long-term stability.
   Specifications
  • Attenuation: Fixed 10 dB

   Ideal Uses
  • Extending fiber optic cables while controlling signal power levels.
  • Balancing optical power in long-haul or metro fiber networks.
  • Protecting sensitive optical receivers from excessive power.
  • Integrating with optical transceivers and patch panels requiring APC connectors.
  • Use in FTTH (Fiber To The Home) or enterprise networks.
  • Lab and testing environments where a fixed, reliable 10dB attenuation is needed.
  • Building out or extending fiber runs without signal quality loss due to reflections.
   Why Choose Male-Female LC/APC Buildout Attenuator 10dB?
  • Precise fixed attenuation ensures stable and predictable power reduction.
  • APC connectors minimize reflections for high signal integrity.
  • Male-Female buildout design simplifies fiber extension without extra splicing.
  • Compact and robust, ideal for dense network environments.
  • Compatible with most telecom and datacom equipment using LC/APC connectors.
  • Reliable and durable for long-term installation in harsh environments.
