Description:
Fiber Optic Attenuator is a passive component used to reduce the amplitude of a light signal without significantly changing the wave form itself. The most common application of the attenuator is to balance the optical power between multi-fiber systems and to reduce the receiver saturation that limits the system performance. In some absorbance experiments, the attenuator can also absorb the excess signals, as too much light may saturate the reference measurement.
Applications:

1. Telecommunication networks
2. CATV
3. LAN & WAN networks
4. Test & Measurement
