Description:
Fiber optic attenuators are devices used to reduce the power level of an optical signal within a fiber optic communication system. They are crucial for preventing the signal from being too strong, which could lead to distortion, or for adjusting the signal strength to match the sensitivity of the receiver.
Features:
- Signal Reduction
- Adjustable Attenuation
- Low Insertion Loss
