Optical Attenuators
Build-out Attenuators for Optical Networks
Opterna Build-out Attenuators (BOA) are used in communication systems to reduce optical power launched onto photo detectors. These high performance devices are designed to give accurate attenuation over a wide rage of wavelengths. The plug type configuration allows you to use directly on the ends of the fiber jumpers and to insert directly in to the adapter. Available in ST, FC, SC, LC, & MU styles with SPC, UPC & APC finish has ultra low return loss and superior performance.
Field and Lab Bench Variable Attenuators
A variable attenuator is an electronic transducer that reduces the amplitude of a wave without causing significant distortion to applications and platforms. In field and lab testing, a variable attenuator can be used for sensitivity testing of components and systems.
