Why do we use fiber optic attenuators ? Why is the OAF technology better than the others ?
Fiber optics attenuators are used to reduce the optical performance in fiber optic networks, matching the fiber optic attenuation to the system dynamics.
The following highlights are featured for these attenuators based on specially doped graded index attenuating fiber:
Precise attenuation
Suitable for high power applications up to 20 dBm Many standard nominal values available High repeatability performance over service life Long life Compact, durable and solid construction
compatible with standard connector systems (PC or APC) Wavelength independent attenuation for SM (1260-1360 and 1460-
1580nm)
