BlueOptics Singlemode LC/APC Simplex glasvezel-verzwakker 10 dB

The BlueOptics SFA21BM10 is a high-quality singlemode fiber optic attenuator designed to reduce optical power in fiber optic networks by 10 dB. Featuring LC/APC connectors in a simplex configuration, this attenuator ensures precise signal attenuation with minimal insertion loss and high return loss, making it ideal for telecommunications, data centers, FTTx, LAN, and CATV applications.

Advantages

This attenuator provides stable and reliable performance across a wide temperature range (-20°C to +70°C) and wavelength range (1310 nm / 1550 nm). Its metal alloy housing and zirconia ceramic ferrule ensure durability and over 500 mating cycles. The angled physical contact (APC) polish minimizes back reflections, ensuring signal integrity.
