Fiber Optical Attenuator ST-UPC Fixed Fiber Optic Attenuators

Product Description

Optical pad attenuators are built with metal-ion doped optical slices and are designed to provide consistent attenuation levels as well as maintaining polarization characteristics. Typical application for an optical pad attenuator is to reduce the amount of optical power by a specific amount as to not saturate a receiver which can limit a system's performance. They also can be used to test the linearity and dynamic range of photo sensors and photo detectors in test and measurement applications.
