In the spotlight: The ATT-Series |

The Advanced Fiber Solutions variable attenuators are ideal for simulating cable loss for lab testing of link power margin or reducing power in links where receivers are being overloaded. The variable attenuators are of the gap-loss type. Pulling the connector end-faces apart induces the loss. Since the light exits in an expanding cone, the receiving fiber will capture less light, as the gap gets larger. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Air gap attenuators are ideal for use with any LED systems and many laser systems. Some laser systems, especially high-speed digital links (over 1 GB/s) or analog CATV systems may not operate well with these attenuators due to back reflections. If you are using these attenuators in those types of systems, you should use the ATT-120 with a FC/APC connector, which have very low return loss even when unmated. |

Advanced Fiber Solutions variable attenuators mate to cables with the connector type ST, FC and SC. If you need to use them with other connector types, use hybrid cables. With one connector matching the attenuator and the other connector mating to the network connector. The fiber type used should also match the network fiber type, with on exception: if in a single mode network you receivers uses a multimode “bucket” fiber, you can use a matching multimode fiber on the receiver side of the attenuator. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
