AFL Product Profile Release Version 1.0 07.19.2001 Fiber Optic Attenuators PRODUCT FACTS * Long Term Reliability * Excellent Environmental Stability * Low ripple, wave length independent attenuation * Certified to more than 125 mw continuous power handling capability with no degradation in performance. * Polarization Insensitive * SM BOA UPC and APC offer excellent return loss * SC and FC styles attenuation is wavelength independent polarization insensitive PRODUCT APPLICATION AFL offers high performance, stable, low cost fiber optic attenuators AFL Telecommunications buildout style attenuators provide superior performance for all single-mode BOA attenuation requirements. These attenuators have been engineered to supply high performance with stable attenuation values at a low cost. Standard attenuation values are 5, 10, 15 and 20 dB. AFL buildout attenuators are available in SC and FC connector styles. CATV, Video Distribution, Long Haul Telecommunications (CLEC, CAPS), Local Area Networks (LAN), Network Testing, Passive Optical Networks, Telco, Fiber in the Loop PART NUMBER See page 2 for performance specifications and part numbers. AVAILABILITY Stock to 2 weeks. AFL buildout attenuator designs use 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. AFL buildout attenuators are designed to meet Bellcore GR-NWT-000910.
