10 piece FC/A fixed attenuator set with flange optical adapters for both male and female connections - Attenuation options: 0 dB, 3 dB, 7 dB, 10 dB, 12 dB, 15 dB, and 20 dB per unit. The adapter adds 5 dB attenuation (FC A 25db). - Construction and type: FM fixed attenuator with a flange optical adapter. Fixed, non-adjustable attenuation for predictable signal levels. - Compatibility: Designed for FC/A connectors, available in both male and female configurations to suit various link setups. - Key benefits: precise, repeatable attenuation values for accurate link budgeting; simple to select and deploy in test rigs and installations; allows stable panel mounting thanks to the flange adapter; helps protect receivers and optimize system performance in fiber optic networks. - Practical attributes: compact, purpose-built components with clearly defined attenuation steps; the flange optical adapter provides secure alignment and mounting in equipment racks or test benches. - 2-3 use scenarios: 1) Lab calibration and testing: simulate link losses to characterize transceivers and receivers under defined conditions. 2) System integration: apply fixed loss values in telecom or data center fiber runs to achieve correct signal levels and improve link reliability. 3) Field panel mounting: install fixed attenuators with flange adapters to maintain consistent attenuation across panelded fiber installations. - Why this set matters: a versatile, ready-to-use collection of fixed attenuators covers common loss requirements in a single package, reducing the need to source components individually while ensuring compatibility with standard FC/A connectors.
