Description

Fiberdyne single-mode attenuation devices are used, where the transmit power is too high for the receiver.

Features:

Build-out
– attenuation placed between two connectors
– the assembly, otherwise, looks like a female-to-male adapter
– simplex and duplex adapter assemblies
– typically, connects equipment to fiber plant or patch cords

Inline
– attenuation placed between two connectors
– the assembly, otherwise, looks like a cable assembly
– duplex cable assembly is available
– typically, connects two different pieces of equipment

Loopback
– attenuation placed between two connectors
– the connectors are parallel attached to each other, and are used with a duplex in-line adapter or bulkhead adapter
– simplex cable assembly, only
– typically, connects the transmit/receive pair of a transceiver
