Plug-Type (Male/Female) Attenuators
CBA series – Singlemode
Description:
The plug-type CBA series singlemode attenuators are used directly on the ends of fiberoptic jumpers
prior to installation in adapters. These attenuators provide a fixed level of attenuation made by fiber
core offset. The CBA series singlemode attenuators are available for SC, FC, ST and LC connectors.
Operational wavelength range is 1310 or 1550 nm.
