SC fiber attenuator (SC, FM female-to-male) — available in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 10 dB — pack of 10 Key benefits - Accurate attenuation choices: selectable 1 dB, 2 dB, 3 dB, 4 dB, 5 dB and 10 dB options let you match link power levels without complex adjustments. - Prevents receiver saturation and balances signal power in FTTH networks, reducing service interruptions and equipment stress. - Quick, tool-free installation: FM (female-to-male) SC connector format ensures straightforward insertion into standard SC ports and easy swap-in during deployment or repairs. - Cost-effective for large jobs: sold in packs of 10 to lower per-unit cost for installers and service teams. What it does and why you need it - Function: introduces a precise, fixed optical attenuation into an SC fiber link to control signal level. - Problem solved: eliminates excessive optical power at the receiver, helps meet link budget requirements, and supports consistent signal performance across multiple customer drops. - Distinguishing point: multiple discrete attenuation options in a compact SC FM form factor simplify onsite decision-making and reduce the need to carry many different tools or adapters. Key attributes - Attenuation values: 1 dB, 2 dB, 3 dB, 4 dB, 5 dB, 10 dB. - Connector type: SC FM (female-to-male, socket-to-plug) for direct compatibility with standard SC ports. - Packaging: bundles of 10 units for efficient stocking and installation. - Performance focus: designed for reliable signal management in FTTH applications; available attenuation steps cover typical field needs. Typical use scenarios - FTTH installation: install attenuators on customer-side connections to fine-tune optical power and prevent receiver overload during turn-up. - Field maintenance and repairs: keep packs on service vans to quickly resolve power-related faults or replace damaged in-line attenuators during troubleshooting. - Network testing and commissioning: use the specified attenuation steps to verify link budgets and adjust segment power during commissioning and acceptance tests. Practical notes - Select the attenuation value that matches your measured or expected excess power at the receiver. - The SC FM connector provides plug-and-play compatibility with standard SC ports commonly used in FTTH terminations. - Packs of 10 simplify inventory management for deployments and recurring maintenance. This product provides a straightforward, economical solution for controlling optical power in FTTH networks while ensuring compatibility with standard SC connections.
