Fiber optic attenuators are usedin the fiber optic links to reduce the optical power at a certain level. Wesupply various kinds of fiber attenuators, including LC, SC, and ST, FC andVariable fiber optic attenuators.
Commonly used fiber optic attenuators are thefemale to male type, which is also called a plug fiber attenuator. They arewith ceramic ferrules and there are various types to fit different kinds offiber optic connectors. Fixed value fiber optic attenuators can reduce theoptical light power at a fixed level, for example, a 10dB SC fiber opticattenuator will reduce the optical power 10dB and utilize a SC male to femaleattenuator. Variable fiber optic attenuators are with adjustableattenuation range. There are also attenuation fiber optic patch cablesavailable, their function is same as attenuators and are used inline.
