SC Optical Fiber Attenuator / Adaptor Connector
SC in-line optical fiber attenuator and adaptor connector. Male-female SC plug-adaptor for reducing optical power in fiber links.
This is an SC in-line optical fiber attenuator / adaptor connector. It is a male-to-female SC plug-adaptor inserted in an SC fiber link to reduce optical power to a set level, or to adapt between SC connections.
Product Overview
In-line attenuators plug between two SC jumper ends to introduce a controlled amount of loss, preventing receiver overload in high-power links. The SC adaptor version aligns and connects two SC fibers.
They are used in fiber-optic test setups, PON systems and receiver-leveling applications.
Key Features
- SC male-female in-line design
- Controlled optical attenuation
- Plug-and-play between SC jumpers
- Also functions as SC adaptor
- For receiver leveling and test setups

Ordering & Customization
We supply SC attenuators and adaptors in common attenuation values. Send the required dB and fiber type for a quotation.
FAQ
What attenuation value do you offer? In-line SC attenuators are made in common dB values (for example 5, 10, 15, 20 dB). Tell us your required attenuation and fiber type; we will confirm availability. This listing is the SC form factor.
Why Choose Us
We confirm the attenuation value and fiber type per order rather than shipping an unlabeled adaptor.
