Engineering Excellence for Demanding Applications
High-Density Optimization
The compact LC form factor enables maximum port utilization in patch panels and network equipment. Our attenuator maintains consistent performance even in tightly packed configurations where thermal management and physical stress present challenges.
Reliability Under Extreme Conditions
Constructed with precision ceramic ferrules and corrosion-resistant housing, this attenuator delivers stable attenuation values across the full operating temperature range. The APC polish ensures superior return loss performance critical for RFoG and high-speed data transmission systems.
Streamlined Installation
The push-pull LC mechanism allows for rapid deployment without specialized tools. Color-coded green housing provides immediate visual identification in complex network environments, reducing installation errors and maintenance time.
Telhua Engineer's Tip
When deploying multiple attenuators in cascade, always verify cumulative attenuation using an optical power meter rather than simply summing nominal values. Environmental factors and connector mating can introduce variations of ±0.2 dB per connection. For critical links exceeding 15 dB total attenuation, consider using variable attenuators or inline monitoring to maintain optimal system margin and prevent non-linear effects in analog video or high-order modulation formats.
Standards and Compliance
This product meets or exceeds all relevant international standards including IEC 61753-1 for environmental performance, TIA/EIA-568 for structured cabling requirements, and RoHS directives for environmental safety. Each unit undergoes rigorous factory testing to ensure compliance with published specifications.
