Fiber Optic Attenuator

Fiber Optic Cable Attenuator

China FIBERFUTURE optical attenuators serve as critical components within fiber optic networks, designed to diminish the intensity of signals. They are indispensable when incoming signals at receivers are excessively powerful, potentially overwhelming the receiving hardware. Such scenarios might arise from mismatches between transceivers or media converters, or when converters are utilized for shorter distances than their intended operational range. They can also assess network robustness by systematically weakening signals until link failure, pinpointing safety margins.

 

Fiber optic attenuators have superior quality, utilizing doped fiber technology for signal reduction. For singlemode applications, our attenuators support a broad wavelength spectrum from 1250nm to 1600nm, accommodating standard 1310nm and 1550nm operations. With a maximum transmission capacity of one watt, we carry a variety of connector types: ST, SC, SC/APC, FC, FC/APC, LC, LC/APC, and MU. Custom orders for other connector types are welcome. Typically, we hold in stock attenuator values spanning 1dB to 25dB for these types.

 

While primarily deployed in singlemode networks due to higher laser power demands, we offer multimode attenuators for 50/125 and 62.5/125 fiber sizes upon request. As these are bespoke items, a minimum order quantity and an extended lead time apply.

FAQs of Optical Attenuator

FAQs of Optical Attenuator

  • Q
    Are there standards or certifications for fiber optic attenuators?
    A
    Yes, fiber optic attenuators should meet industry standards and certifications, such as those specified by TIA/EIA, ISO/IEC, and other relevant organizations. Compliance with these standards ensures that the attenuator performs reliably and meets the required quality and performance criteria.
  • Q
    What are the typical attenuation levels available in fiber optic attenuators?
    A
    Fiber optic attenuators are available in various attenuation levels, typically ranging from 1 dB to 30 dB or more. The specific level required depends on the network's signal strength and performance needs.
  • Q
    Can I have a custom cable designed and sample order?
    A
    We provide design service for all clients. MOQ of sample order is subject to the specific design.
  • Q
    How long is your delivery time?
    A
    5-10 days if the goods are in stock. 2-3 weeks if the goods are not in stock, mostly depends on quantity and production plan.
