ACT SC Fiber optic attenuator 2 dB

The ACT SC Fiber Optic Attenuator 2 dB reduces optical signal strength in fiber optic networks to help manage power levels and avoid signal distortion. It uses optimized ion-doped fiber technology for consistent fixed attenuation and is supplied with SC/UPC connectors. Each pack contains one unit suitable for insertion into SC duplex/simplex links where a 2 dB reduction is required.

Advantages

Designed with ion-doped fiber technology, the attenuator delivers stable, repeatable fixed attenuation. The SC/UPC connector interface ensures broad compatibility with standard passive optical links. Compact, single-unit packaging makes it easy to store and install without additional tools.

Suitable for

• Reducing optical power in singlemode fiber links
• Balancing receiver input levels in telecom and CATV systems
• Laboratory testing and field commissioning of fiber networks

How to use

Disconnect the fiber link at the desired insertion point, align the SC connector of the attenuator with the device or patchcord receptacle and firmly push until it clicks into place. Verify optical power levels after insertion to ensure the expected 2 dB reduction. To remove, depress the connector latch and pull straight out.

Recommendations

Install the attenuator in clean, dry environments and inspect connector endfaces for contamination before mating. Avoid bending the fiber sharply near the connector and store the unit in its protective cap when not in use.
