ACT SC glasvezel-verzwakker 1 dB

The ACT SC Fiber Optic Attenuator 1 dB reduces optical signal power in fiber optic links to help manage optical budgets and prevent receiver overload. Built with ion-doped fiber technology for consistent fixed attenuation, this SC/UPC connector attenuator is supplied as a single unit and is suitable for insertion in SC-terminated single-mode fiber systems.

Advantages

This fixed optical attenuator provides stable attenuation at the specified 1 dB value, using optimized ion-doped fiber to ensure consistent performance. The SC/UPC connector offers simple plug-and-play installation and compatibility with standard SC-terminated fiber equipment. The compact, passive design requires no power and maintains signal integrity while reducing power levels.

Suitable for

• Adjusting optical power levels in single-mode fiber networks
• Preventing receiver saturation in optical links
• Laboratory testing and field maintenance where fixed 1 dB attenuation is required

How to use

Insert the ACT SC 1 dB attenuator inline between two SC/UPC-terminated fiber connectors. Ensure connectors are clean before mating to avoid contamination. The attenuator is passive and requires no configuration—simply connect at the desired insertion point in the optical path to achieve a fixed 1 dB reduction in optical power.

Recommendations

Inspect and clean fiber connectors before installation, avoid excessive bending of the fiber near the attenuator, and verify power levels after insertion to confirm the expected 1 dB attenuation. Store the attenuator in a dry, dust-free environment when not in use.
