CBO Fibre optic attenuator singlemode LC simplex 1dB

Optimal Fibre Connections

The BlueOptics SFA21BK1 1dB optical fibre attenuator for singlemode G.652.D 9/125µm fibre links (from 1270nm to 1610nm) by CBO features an LC/PC simplex connector and a highly reliable ceramic ferrule. The attenuation in optical fibre attenuators refers to the energy loss of the light beam that occurs during its passage through a fibre, manifested as absorption and scattering. To reduce the signal level on a fibre link, optical fibre attenuators are employed to increase attenuation. Particularly for short distances, the installation of an attenuator may be necessary to prevent the high transmission power from overdriving the receiver.

Best Attenuation Values

All BlueOptics SFA21BK1 1dB LC/PC optical fibre attenuators exhibit low input loss and high return loss. Further optimisations of the return loss can be achieved by adjusting the polishing type (UPC or 8° APC). BlueOptics products are standard.
