Adafruit 25PCS 15dB SC-UPC Flange Fiber Optical Attenuators 2 in 1 Accessories
Pack of 25 SC-UPC flange attenuators delivering fixed 15 dB single-mode signal reduction for fibre testing and communication systems
- Precise 15dB attenuation protects sensitive receivers from overload
- 10% attenuation accuracy ensures consistent signal levels across links
- Low 0.2dB polarization dependent loss maintains stable transmission
- High 50dB return loss minimises back-reflection interference
- 25-piece pack supplies enough attenuators for multi-link deployments
25-Pack SC-UPC Fixed Attenuators
This pack supplies twenty-five single-mode fiber attenuators, each with a 15dB fixed loss and SC-UPC female-to-female connectors. Network engineers and installers use them to bring received optical power into the receiver’s sweet spot during turn-up, testing or permanent deployment.
15dB fixed loss with tight tolerances
Each unit delivers 15dB attenuation with a 10% dB precision window, polarization dependent loss of .2dB and return loss of 50dB. The fixed value means you cannot tune the loss on site; the link budget must already call for exactly 15dB per connector.
Replaces variable attenuators for permanent drops
When a link needs a known, repeatable 15dB drop, these plug-and-play adapters replace bench-top variable attenuators and eliminate drift. They are not suited for links that require adjustable loss or attenuation values other than 15dB.

Questions about this item
Should I buy the 25-piece pack or look for a smaller quantity?
The pack contains 25 SC-UPC female-to-female attenuators, each fixed at 15 dB attenuation.
What does the 15 dB attenuation do to the light level in my single-mode link?
Each attenuator cuts the optical signal by 15 dB with 10 % dB precision, 0.2 dB polarisation-dependent loss and 50 dB return loss.
Will these SC-UPC flange adapters work with standard SC patch cords and panels?
Yes, they are SC-UPC female to SC-UPC female flange connectors designed for direct insertion into standard SC interfaces.
