Attenuators /
FiberFab singlemode and multimode attenuators are used in communication systems to reduce optical power launched onto the photo detector. These high performance devices are designed to give accurate attenuation over a wide range of wavelengths. The plug type configuration allows them to be used directly on the end of a patchcord, which in turn can insert directly into an adaptor.
Available in FC, SC, LC and ST connector styles with PC or APC finish, FiberFab attenuators provide ultra-low return loss and are available from 1dB to 30dB.
