BlueOptics attenuatore monomodale LC/APC simplex 14dB

The BlueOptics SFA21BM14 is a high-quality singlemode fiber optic attenuator designed to reduce optical power in fiber optic networks. With an attenuation value of 14 dB, it ensures optimal signal levels for sensitive receivers. The LC/APC connector configuration provides low back reflection, making it ideal for high-performance applications.

Advantages

This attenuator offers precise attenuation with a tolerance of ±0.5 dB, ensuring reliable performance. The APC polish minimizes return loss, enhancing signal integrity. Durable metal/plastic composite housing and zirconia ceramic ferrule guarantee long-term stability and over 1000 mating cycles.
