Inline Fixed Optical Attenuator, SC/UPC, Single Mode, 9dB

A fiber optic attenuator is used to reduce the power of the laser in a fiber link. Sometimes the power of a fiber signal can be too high potentially causing damage to optical receivers in the hardware. In this instance, a fiber attenuator would be used to lower that optical signal.

This particular Optical Attenuator features a fixed reduction of 9 decibels and is applicable to single-mode fiber links requiring SC/UPC connectors.
