OZ Optics’ line of low cost fixed attenuators are available in four different configurations (hybrid male to female, attenuating fiber patchcord, bulkhead receptacle and loopback) to best suit your particular application. Each configuration has its own strengths. The hybrid type is ideal for reducing the intensity of a signal just prior to going into a receiver. They are also available with different connector types on the input and output. The attenuating fiber patchcord is ideal for high power applications and can be easily installed into fiber splice enclosures. The receptacle style is ideal when two male connectors need to be mated with a fixed attenuator. Finally, the loopback style attenuator is intended for patch panel installations.
