Optical Attenuator SC Yin-Yang Type

SC Yin-Yang optical attenuators offer adjustable attenuation from 1dB to 30dB, with SC interface, male-female plug-and-play design, and compatibility across 1250–1650nm wavelengths.

Key Specifications

Attenuation Range: Selectable values typically include 1dB, 2dB, 5dB, 10dB, 15dB, 20dB, 25dB, and up to 30dB depending on the model. Interface Type: Standard SC connector, male-to-female plug-and-play design; also available in LC, FC, ST, and MU interfaces. Ferrule Type: PC (Physical Contact) or APC (Angled Physical Contact, 8°) for low back reflection.

Wavelength Compatibility: Operates effectively across 1250–1650nm, suitable for most optical communication systems. Insertion Loss and Return Loss: Low insertion loss with high return loss, ensuring minimal signal degradation and stable optical power control. Housing and Materials: Durable metal housing with high-precision light-absorbing interior to prevent optical module overload.

Standards Compliance: Conforms to IEC, RoHS, and Telcordia GR-910-CORE standards. FeaturesPlug-and-Play Design: Integrated male-female interface eliminates the need for additional adapters, simplifying installation. High Reliability and Repeatability: Factory-tested for accurate attenuation and consistent performance across multiple uses.

Applications: Suitable for CATV, MANs, WANs, FTTx, GPON, EPON, optical switches, optical modems, data centers, enterprise networks, and home fiber deployments. Adjustable and Fixed Options: Available as fixed or adjustable attenuators to meet different optical power requirements.

Practical Considerations

Ensure the selected attenuator matches the wavelength and interface type of your optical system to avoid compatibility issues. Ideal for optical power testing, network maintenance, and signal level adjustment in fiber optic links. High factory consistency and durability make it suitable for repeated plug-and-play operations in professional and home network environments.
