AT-10DB-SC item

Hello every body

does any one knows any thing about AT-10DB-SC "10dB attenuator, SC connector"? Where can I get a datasheet or a brochur?? I'll apreciate it.

Thanks.

The 10dB attenuators are passive optical components that bring the db levels in rage with the transmit and receive sensitivities of the lasers. So you would take a power-meter reading on both side of the optical card.

The attenuators come in varying dB levels and can be ordered from companies such as Cable Exchange, GreyBar, or other cable suppliers that carry optical compontents.

The following is a pretty good datasheet from a supplier

Hope this helps

I have had some trouble getting Telect attenuators due to stock before and used Corning. The datasheet for those can be found at: http://www.corningcablesystems.com/web/library/litindex.nsf/$ALL/EVO-61-EN/$FILE/EVO-61-EN.pdf

We have ordered them from Power & Tel ( http://www.ptsupply.com/ ) as well as Phillips Communication ( http://www.ptsupply.com/ ).
