In-Line Optical Attenuators, Flat Wavelength,
FC UPC
FC UPC, 15 dB
Corning offers in-Line, flat wavelength optical attenua-
tors 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 element of these
Corning attenuators is the zirconia ferrule containing a
specially selected attenuating fiber. This special fiber
minimizes the effect of modal interference and gives the
component a flat spectral response. 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 (≤½- 55 dB) and angled PC (≤½
-65 dB) finish to meet the most demanding network re-
flectance requirements.
