Specifications
Attenuation Values —
1-20dB and 25 dB (Fixed)
Reflectance —
n Designed to comply with
Bellcore GR-NWT-00910
Build Out Attenuators utilize a unique
all-fiber construction to absorb the
optical signal.
<-45dB, -50, -55 and -60dB for
PC, SPC, UPC and APC polish
respectively
Operating Temperature —
-40°C to +75°C
Applications
n Power leveling in DWDM
transmission systems
By employing a Tyco Electronics’
technology, the design minimizes
reflectance, attenuation tolerance
and PDL while maximizing reliability,
environmental stability, and power
handling. There are no filters, air
gaps, or core mismatches.
