LC/UPC Male-Female 4dB/5dB Fiber Attenuators 

The LC/UPC Male-Female Fiber Attenuators are precision optical devices designed to manage and adjust optical signal levels in fiber optic networks. Available in attenuation values of 4 dB and 5 dB, these attenuators are crucial for optimizing network performance and preventing signal overload.

Featuring LC/UPC male to LC/UPC female connectors, these attenuators offer seamless integration into existing fiber optic systems. They are designed to introduce a controlled amount of attenuation into the optical signal path, which helps in balancing signal levels, improving signal quality, and preventing potential damage to sensitive optical components.

Constructed with high-quality materials such as stainless steel or durable plastic, the attenuators are built to withstand harsh environmental conditions. The ferrules are typically made from zirconia ceramic, ensuring high precision and reliability. They offer low insertion loss, with a typical value of ≤ 0.2 dB and a maximum of ≤ 0.3 dB, and high return loss of ≥ 50 dB to minimize signal reflection.

The attenuators are designed to operate effectively across a wide wavelength range, from 1260 nm to 1650 nm for singlemode fibers, and 850 nm and 1300 nm for multimode fibers. They can handle operating temperatures from -40°C to +85°C and storage temperatures within the same range, ensuring reliable performance in various environmental conditions.

These fiber attenuators are compliant with industry standards such as Telcordia GR-326 and IEC 61300, and are RoHS compliant, ensuring both high performance and environmental safety. They are built to endure over 500 mating cycles and are resistant to vibrations and shocks, making them suitable for demanding applications in telecommunications, data centers, and fiber optic networks.

Overall, the LC/UPC Male-Female Fiber Attenuators are essential components for fine-tuning optical signal levels, enhancing network reliability, and ensuring optimal performance in various fiber optic systems.
