Fiber optic attenuators are used in fiber optic communications to reduce the optical fiber power by a certain level,available in all fiber modes, LC attenuators, ST attenuators, SC attenuators, SC attenuators, and FC attenuator types.Too much light can saturate a fiber optic receiver, which to reduce the power of illumination and achieve optimum system performance a fiber optic attenuator would need to be used. In general, multimode systems do not require attenuators because multimode sources, even VCSELs, rarely have enough power to saturate the receiver. Instead, it is necessary to use fiber optic attenuators for the purpose of balancing optical power during transport in single mode systems.

The most commonly used type is Female to Male Plug Type Attenuator. It has the optical fiber connector on one side and on the other side is a female fiber optic adapter. The attenuator name is based on the connector type and the attenuation level.
We carry high-quality Fiber Optic Attenuators for Singlemode 9/125, Multimode 50/125 and Multimode 62.5/125 applications. Our Male to Female Optical Attenuation (pads) are available in all fiber modes. LC attenuators, ST attenuators, SC attenuators, SC attenuators, and FC attenuator types.
