Corning Cable Systems offers In -Line, Flat Wavelength
Optical Attenuators that are easily inserted between the
connector and adapter in an “in -line” configuration and
are compatible with SC, ST® Compatible, FC, MU, LC
and angled SC and FC connectors.A fundamental ele-
ment of these Corning Cable Systems attenuators is the
zirconia ferrule containing a specially selected attenuat-
ing fiber. This special fiber minimizes the effect of modal
interference and gives the component a flat spectral re-
sponse. It is extremely stable over the wavelength range
of 1260 to 1360 nm and 1430 to 1580 nm.These in -line,
flat wavelength attenuators are available in Ultra PC (≤ -
55 dB) and Angled PC (≤ -65 dB) finish to meet the most
demanding network reflectance requirements.
