Fixed Attenuator Broadband Bandpass 4.5dB

In a fiber optic system, buildout attenuators play an important role in controlling optical power levels in telecommunications and CATV applications. They must offer consistent performance over a range of operating conditions so that attenuation levels remain constant and predictable.A key feature of buildout attenuators (BOAs) is easy use. Configured as a connector with the plug or ferrule at one end and the receptacle at the other, they can be installed at a patch panel or receiver by simply unplugging the cable, plugging the attenuator into the bulkhead adapter, and plugging the cable into the receptacle end of the attenuator.
