Attenuator Test Cables

New Zealand engineering teams can use the documented values below to compare the product with the intended channel and as-built requirements. The attenuator test cable combines a calibrated 10 dB fixed element with a test-grade LC patch cord in one item. It reproduces the loss of a long fiber channel on the bench; therefore, long-reach transceivers are qualified at their specified receive level before implementation.

For New Zealand backbone projects, examine the receive power budget during design and fit fixed attenuators at turn-up rather than after errors appear.

All versions are optically verified before packing; state specification, connector, polish and body style with the enquiry.

How to Specify and Order

All attenuators in this product line are optically verified before packing: attenuation specification, return loss and end-face condition are checked on each unit. State the attenuation specification, connector product line, polish grade and body style with the enquiry, and the factory confirms the specification with the quotation. New Zealand project orders can include documentation and labeling requirements alongside the technical configuration.
