ACT SC fibre optic attenuator 15 dB

The ACT SC Fiber Optic Attenuator 15 dB is a fixed optical attenuator that reduces signal strength in fiber optic networks to help achieve optimal power levels. Using optimized ion-doped fiber technology, this single-unit attenuator provides consistent attenuation performance and is supplied with SC/UPC connectors. It is intended for installations where a reliable, compact inline attenuation element is required.

Advantages

The ACT fixed attenuator delivers stable, repeatable attenuation values across its specified rating, with durable construction suitable for rack or field installations. Its SC/UPC connector interface ensures easy integration with standard single-mode patch cords. The device is sold individually and offers attenuation in the 1 dB to 15 dB range to match different system requirements.

Suitable for

• Reducing optical power in single-mode fiber links
• Balancing signal levels between transmitting and receiving equipment
• Testing and commissioning fiber optic networks
• Patch panel or inline installations using SC/UPC connectors

How to use

Connect the ACT SC 15 dB attenuator inline between the transmitting fiber patch cord and the receiving port with matching SC/UPC connectors. Ensure connectors are clean before mating to avoid contamination-related loss. The device provides a fixed 15 dB reduction in optical power; no configuration is required. For temporary measurements, insert the attenuator in the test setup as needed and remove when finished.

Recommendations

Handle the attenuator by the body to avoid touching the ferrule; keep protective caps on when not in use. Verify that the selected attenuation value (15 dB) is appropriate for the equipment and optical budget of your link to prevent under- or over-attenuation.
