AFLglobal.com | 800.235.3423 1 Optical Connectivity Optical Connectivity Buildout Attenuators Buildout attenuators provide superior performance for all single-mode in-line attenuation requirements. Standard attenuation values are 5, 10, 15, and 20 dB, available in SC, FC, ST, and LC connector styles. Using no air gap, filters, or light path discontinuities, attenuation is achieved by controlled absorption of light energy. This results in a polarization insensitive device with high power handling capability, environmentally stable, and exceptionally responsive, across a wide bandpass range. 01DB 02DB 03DB 04DB 05DB 06DB 07DB 08DB 09DB 10DB 11DB 12DB 13DB 14DB 15DB 16DB 17DB 18DB 19DB 20DB 21DB 22DB 23DB 24DB 25DB 26DB 27DB 28DB 29DB 30DB OFA Ordering Information BO Connector SCA = SC/APC SCU = SC/UPC LCA = LC/APC LCU = LC/UPC STU = ST/UPC FCA = FC/APC FCU = FC/UPC — — Features • SC, FC, ST, and LC connector styles (Ultra & Angled Polish) • Long-term reliability • Low ripple, wavelength independent attenuation • Certified to >125 mW continuous power handling capability with no performance degradation • Polarization insensitive Application • Broadband Network • Fiber in the Loop • Local Area Networks (LAN) • Long Haul Telecommunications (CLEC, CAPS) • Network Testing • Passive Optical Networks • Telco Specifications PARAMETER VALUE Standard Attenuation Values 5, 10, 15 and 20 dB Attenuation Tolerance Standard at 10% Vibration resistance <0.1X attenuation value Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to +75°C Storage Temperature Range: -40°C to +85°C
