Introduction to LC APC Attenuator
Often when running fiber optic cable over short distances the optical power will be too strong. people use LC APC Attenuator to prevent over saturating an optical receiver when the optical power is too high. Using attenuators will ensure low bit error rates and prevent damage to receiving components. The optical attenuator is a male to female configuration and connectorized with LC.
Features
- Low back reflection
- Wide wavelength range
- Polarization insensitive
- Compact and rugged housings
- Hybrid style attenuator uses attenuating fiber
- Mode independent multimode loopback attenuators
