Name: Fiber Optic LC - APC 8° Attenuator 5dB
Brand: Oring Networking
SKU: AT-LCA5

Cuts optical power by 5 dB on angle polished LC links.

A fixed value optical attenuator that works on single mode fiber links with LC connectors and an 8° angled APC polish. Its male-female plug body with a ceramic ferrule goes in line with the fiber path and reduces the light reaching the receiver by 5 dB.

Key features

Fixed attenuationThe 5 dB attenuation value is fixed, needs no adjustment and holds the same level on every link.

Connector and polishThe LC body with 8° APC polish mates directly with angle polished fiber interfaces.

Single Mode linkIt works on single mode fiber and sets the optical power level according to distance.

Inline useIt sits in line with the fiber path and comes out again without disturbing the link.

Receiver protectionIt attenuates light arriving at excessive power over a short link and protects the receiver port.

Applications

Signal Level Balancing

Balancing uneven optical signal levels and adjusting the optical power level according to distance

Receiver Port Protection

When Single Mode SFP modules designed for long distances are used over short links, the light from the transmit port reaches the receiver port at excessive power; the attenuator prevents this and protects the port from damage

Laboratory / Testing

Reducing the optical power level during product design and testing

Installation

Installed inline; can easily be plugged and unplugged whenever required
