Specifications

   Description:
  • An Optical Attenuator for Monitoring Port Protection is a passive device used in fiber optic networks to reduce the power level of an optical signal without distorting its waveform. It is typically placed at the monitoring ports of optical systems to protect sensitive equipment, such as optical spectrum analyzers or power meters, from being damaged by excessively strong optical signals.
   Features:
  • Precise Attenuation Values: Available in fixed or variable attenuation levels (e.g., 1 dB to 30 dB) for accurate signal power control.
  • Low Insertion Loss: Minimizes the loss of signal outside of the attenuation level.
  • High Return Loss: Ensures minimal back reflection into the system, preserving signal integrity.
  • Wide Operating Wavelength Range: Supports common wavelengths used in fiber optics such as 1310 nm, 1550 nm, or a broad range (1260–1650 nm).
  • Compact and Durable Design: Small form factor, often with ruggedized housing for easy integration and reliable performance.
  • Standard Connectors: Compatible with common fiber optic connectors like SC, FC, LC, or ST.
  • Stable Performance: Temperature stable and reliable for long-term use in field or lab environments.
   Specification:
  • Attenuation Range: 1 dB to 30 dB (fixed or variable)
  • Insertion Loss: Typically < 0.5 dB (excluding attenuation)
  • Return Loss: = 50 dB
  • Wavelength Range: 1260 nm – 1650 nm
  • Operating Temperature: -40°C to +85°C
  • Connector Types: SC, FC, LC, ST, etc.
  • Fiber Type: Single-mode or multimode
  • Durability: Corrosion-resistant, ruggedized housing
   Ideal Uses:
  • Monitoring Ports in Optical Networks: Protects measurement instruments by reducing signal power to safe levels.
  • Testing and Measurement: Used in labs or field testing to calibrate and evaluate optical systems.
  • Fiber Optic Communication Systems: Ensures accurate monitoring without damaging sensitive components.
  • Passive Optical Networks (PON): Prevents overload of monitoring devices on network splitters.
  • Optical Amplifier Testing: Controls input power for optical amplifiers and other active components.
   Why Choose This Product?
  • Protection of Equipment: Prevents damage to sensitive monitoring tools by precisely reducing optical power.
  • Maintains Signal Quality: High return loss and low insertion loss ensure minimal impact on the network’s signal integrity.
  • Reliable and Stable: Performs consistently across a wide temperature range and over time, reducing maintenance.
  • Versatile Compatibility: Works with a variety of connectors and fiber types, fitting into diverse network setups.
  • Compact and Easy to Use: Simple integration into existing systems without adding bulk or complexity.
