Coaxial attenuator — compact, wideband, durable Key benefits - Controls signal levels to protect receivers and measurement equipment: reduces input amplitude to prevent overload and distortion without changing system topology. - Versatile across installations: the wide frequency range supports multiple RF applications so one attenuator can serve varying test and field needs. - Space-saving and robust: small form factor fits confined setups; the plastic housing provides long-lasting protection while keeping the unit lightweight and easy to handle. What it does and why you need it - Function: attenuates RF signals in coaxial lines to adjust levels, improve measurement accuracy, and prevent damage to downstream devices. - Compatibility: designed for use in coaxial systems and common RF test and field environments; integrates with standard coaxial workflows and test benches. - Performance: maintains consistent attenuation over a wide frequency range, enabling reliable performance across bands without frequent swapping of components. Important attributes - Size: compact footprint for installation in tight racks, test enclosures, or portable rigs. - Material: robust plastic housing resists impact and wear for extended service life while minimizing weight. - Frequency: wide frequency coverage ensures usefulness across different RF applications (test, broadcast, communications). Practical use scenarios - Laboratory testing: place the attenuator between a signal generator and sensitive measurement equipment to set safe input levels and improve measurement repeatability. - Field installations and troubleshooting: use in outdoor or temporary setups where a compact, durable attenuator is required to protect receivers or adjust antenna feed levels. - Production and calibration: incorporate into calibration routines or manufacturing test stations to quickly control signal amplitudes across multiple frequency ranges. Why this product stands out - Combines portability and durability for both bench and field use. - Wide frequency range reduces the need for multiple attenuators, simplifying inventory and setup. - Practical design focuses on reliable, consistent attenuation without adding unnecessary complexity. Usage notes - Intended for coaxial RF signal attenuation; select appropriate attenuation value and connector type based on your system requirements. - The durable plastic housing eases handling and helps protect internal components during routine use.
