BlueOptics SC Simplex Singlemode Fixed Attenuator 6dB, Ceramic Ferrule, UPC Polish

The BlueOptics SFA22BK6 is a high-quality fixed optical attenuator designed for singlemode fiber networks. It provides precise 6dB attenuation to optimize signal levels and prevent receiver overload. Featuring SC/UPC simplex connectors with ceramic ferrule, this attenuator ensures low insertion loss and high return loss for reliable performance in DWDM, CATV, and telecom applications.

Advantages

Precise 6dB attenuation ensures optimal signal strength; ceramic ferrule provides durability and stable performance; wide operating temperature range (-40°C to +75°C) suits harsh environments; high return loss (>45dB) minimizes reflections; low insertion loss (<0.1dB) maintains signal integrity.

Suitable for

• Singlemode fiber optic networks
• DWDM and CWDM systems
• CATV and FTTx deployments
• Telecom and data center applications
• Testing and measurement setups
