Female to Male Single Mode Elite MPO Fiber Optical Attenuator 1dB to 30dB

+ An fiber optical attenuator is a device that is used to reduce signal amplitude by a known amount without introducing distortion. Fiber optical attenuators are installed in fiber optic systems to keep the power level within the limits of the receiver's detector.

+ When optical power is too great at the receiver, the signal can saturate the detector resulting in a non-communicating port. The fiber optical attenuators act like sunglasses and block some of the signal to acceptable levels.

+ Fiber optical attenuators are usually used when the signal arriving at the receiver is too strong and hence may overpower the receiving elements. This may occur because of a mismatch between the transmitters/receivers (transceivers, media converters), or because the media converters are designed for a much longer distance than for which they are being used.

+ Sometimes fiber optical attenuators are also used for stress testing a network link by incrementally reducing the signal strength (increasing the dB attenuation) until the optical link fails, thus determining the signal’s existing safety margin.

+ MPO Fiber optical attenuators are available in various styles with either fixed or variable attenuation levels.

+ Fixed MPO fiber optical attenuators are used in the fiber optic links to reduce the optical power at a certain level. Commonly used fiber optical attenuators are the female to male type, which is also called a plug fiber optical attenuator. They are with ceramic ferrules and there are various types to fit different kinds of fiber optic connectors. Fixed value fiber optic attenuators can reduce the optical light power at a fixed level.

+ Variable MPO fiber optical attenuators are with adjustable attenuation range. There are also attenuation fiber optic patch cables available, their function is same as attenuators and are used inline.

+ The MPO fiber optical attenuators are designed to evenly attenuate optical signal power across all channels in 40/400G parallel optical transmission and other applications that use MPO fiber connector.

+ The MPO fiber optical attenuators have two version including loopback version which provides more accurate and broad range attenuation. They can significantly simplify network design, improve efficiency and save space

+ This MPO fiber optical attenuator contains doped fiber and suitable for both 1310nm and 1550nm operation. Fixed attenuation values are available in 1dB increments from 1 to 30dB.

+ We have a mature attenuator production process, and can fully meet customer needs. Our each MPO fiber optical attenuator is shipped with a test report that makes it easy for customers to check the optical performance quickly.
