Specifications

   Description
  • A Mechanical Adjustable Fiber Attenuator is a passive optical component that uses a mechanical mechanism—typically a rotating dial, screw, or sliding element—to manually vary the attenuation (signal loss) in an optical fiber link. It physically adjusts how much light is allowed to pass through the fiber by misaligning fibers, bending fibers, or inserting variable optical filters, thereby reducing the optical signal power in a controlled way.
  • It is widely used in fiber optic systems to test, balance, or protect optical signals by introducing a variable, controlled loss.
   Features
  • Manual Attenuation Control: Easily adjustable by turning a knob, dial, or screw.
  • Stable and Reliable: Mechanical design ensures consistent attenuation once set.
  • Broad Wavelength Compatibility: Works over typical telecom wavelength bands (e.g., 1260-1650 nm).
  • Low Insertion Loss at Minimum Attenuation: Minimal impact on signal strength when fully open.
  • Compact, Rugged Design: Suitable for lab and field environments.
  • Connector Options: Compatible with FC, SC, LC, ST, and APC/UPC connectors.
  • High Return Loss: Minimizes back reflection in fiber links.
  • Attenuation Range: Typically adjustable from 0 dB up to 30 dB or more.
  • No Power Required: Completely passive and easy to integrate.
