FiberFab high performance attenuated patchcords are used to attenuate the optical signal in a link. Attenuated patch cords can be installed in place of conventional patchcords to provide a constant level of attenuation with a return loss of >50 dB.

The attenuated patchcord can be used to replace the conventional cable assembly and attenuator combination. It is a compact, multi purpose passive device designed to operate at the 1310 and 1550nm wavelengths.
Attenuated patchcords can be provided with various connector styles SC, ST and FC to meet customer’s requirements.

FiberFab attenuated patchcords comes to you from a world class manufacturing facility backed by 20 years of experience in manufacturing fiber optic passive and active devices. Products coming out of this facility have found worldwide applications in computer networking, telecommunications and cable TV.

Specifications

Description

The FiberFab optical fiber patch cords are manufactured using the best quality components. The connectors are the market leading FiberFab range of connectors, and the cable exceeds all areas of the standards.

The FiberFab range of patch cords has grown through the years, from industry standard 62.5/125 multimode to 9/125 singlemode, FiberFab can supply them all.

Non-standard cables can be made to your own exacting standards in our ISO 9001 UK production facility. This encompasses all of the essential tools to ensure the products not only meet but also exceed the requirements laid down in IEC international standards for fiber optic terminations.
