Specifications

   Description
  • The SC to SC Inline Attenuator Patch Cord 5dB is a fiber optic patch cable with a built-in fixed optical attenuator that reduces signal power by exactly 5 decibels (dB). It comes with SC connectors on both ends—either UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) or APC (Angled Physical Contact) depending on your network requirements—and is used to connect and attenuate signals in one step.
  • This all-in-one solution is ideal for applications that require precise signal reduction to prevent receiver saturation or balance optical link budgets, especially in telecom, data centers, and lab environments.
   Features
  • Fixed Attenuation: Reduces optical signal power by 5 dB.
  • Connector Type: SC/UPC or SC/APC to SC/UPC or SC/APC (depending on your system).
  • Single Mode Fiber Compatible: 9/125 µm OS2 fiber core.
  • Inline Integration: Combines a standard patch cable with an integrated attenuator.
  • Low Insertion Loss: Typically = 0.5 dB beyond the designed 5 dB attenuation.
  • High Return Loss: = 50 dB for UPC or = 60 dB for APC connectors.
  • Rugged Design: Built for high performance in both lab and field settings.
  • Plug and Play: Simple installation without additional adapters or splicing.
  • Available Lengths: Commonly 1m, 2m, or custom lengths.
   Specifications
  • Attenuation: Fixed 5 dB
  • Connector Type: SC/UPC to SC/UPC or SC/APC to SC/APC
  • Fiber Type: Single Mode (OS2, 9/125 µm)
  • Cable Length: Typically 1 to 3 meters (custom available)
  • Insertion Loss: = 0.5 dB (excluding attenuation)
  • Return Loss: = 50 dB (UPC), = 60 dB (APC)
  • Operating Wavelength: 1260 – 1625 nm
  • Operating Temperature: -20°C to +70°C
  • Jacket Material: PVC or LSZH
   Ideal Uses
  • Preventing receiver overload by reducing signal power.
  • Balancing power in point-to-point fiber links.
  • Data centers and telecom networks needing precise signal control.
  • Integration with SC-based switches, transceivers, and amplifiers.
  • FTTH/FTTx installations with SC connector setups.
  • Lab testing and R&D, where a known, consistent attenuation level is needed.
  • Quick patching in racks or wall panels with added signal control.
   Why Choose SC to SC Inline Attenuator Patch Cord 5dB?
  • Two-in-one design simplifies deployment (patch + attenuation).
  • Reduces connector points, lowering insertion loss and failure risk.
  • Reliable fixed attenuation for consistent, predictable performance.
  • Cost and time efficient: no need for separate attenuators and cables.
  • Field-ready and lab-tested, suitable for permanent or temporary use.
