Specifications

   Description
  • The SC/UPC Fixed Attenuator 5dB is designed to reduce optical signal strength by a fixed 5 decibels. It is commonly used in FTTH, GPON, EPON, and other PON systems to prevent optical receivers from becoming saturated — especially when the fiber path is short or the optical transmitter is high power.
   Specifications
  • Connector Type: SC/UPC (Square Connector with Ultra Physical Contact polish)
  • Attenuation Level: Fixed 5 dB (±0.5 dB tolerance)
  • Fiber Type: Single-mode (9/125 µm)
  • Wavelength Range: 1260 nm – 1625 nm (PON-compatible wavelengths: 1310, 1490, 1550 nm)
  • Return Loss: =50 dB (UPC polish)
  • Polarization Dependent Loss (PDL): <0.2 dB
  • Max Input Power: Typically up to +23 dBm (200 mW)
  • Operating Temperature: –40°C to +80°C
   Features
  • PON-Ready Design: Supports standard GPON and EPON wavelengths — critical for ONUs and OLTs.
  • SC/UPC Connector: Standard blue connector used in most FTTH deployments (not angle-polished like APC).
  • Fixed 5 dB Attenuation: Reduces signal power without affecting signal quality.
  • Low Back Reflection: UPC polish gives a return loss of =50 dB — suitable for most PON networks.
  • Compact Plug-Style Format: Easily inserts between SC patch cords and equipment.
  • Telcordia GR-910 compliant: For long-term reliability in optical networks.
   Ideal Use Cases in PON Systems
  • Application Area: How It Helps
  • FTTH deployments (GPON/EPON): Prevents signal overload at the ONU
  • Short fiber runs (<500 m): Reduces high Tx power from the OLT
  • Lab testing/calibration: Simulates real network attenuation levels
  • PON signal leveling: Balances split ratio power differences
   Why Choose SC/UPC 5dB Attenuator for PON?
  • Perfect attenuation level (5 dB) for typical PON system balancing on short links.
  • Standard SC/UPC connector used in most ONU/OLT ports — no adapters needed.
  • Low return loss and minimal PDL ensures stable PON performance and accurate BER.
  • Cost-effective and plug-and-play, no configuration or recalibration required.
  • Compliant with telecom standards, supporting high reliability in real-world networks.
