6dB SC Male-Female OS1 Simplex Attenuator

This pair of fixed attenuators reduces optical power by 6dB in single-mode fibre links. Each unit connects an SC male plug to an SC female socket in a simplex configuration. They suit installers who need to lower signal levels without active equipment.

Industry-standard SC connectors, simplex build

The attenuators use standard SC interfaces that snap into existing patch panels or equipment ports. A simplex design means one fibre strand per unit, so two are required for a duplex circuit. No shielding is present, making them suitable for indoor patching where electromagnetic protection is not required.

Check your link budget and connector gender

Verify that a 6dB reduction matches the loss budget calculated for your OS1 single-mode run. Confirm that the equipment ports accept SC connectors and that the male-to-female orientation fits the patch-cord layout. Ensure the simplex format matches the cabling plan before ordering.

Questions about this item

What attenuation does the SC Male to SC Female OS1 SMF Simplex attenuator provide?

The fixed-value attenuator reduces optical power by 6dB in single-mode fiber links.

What connector genders and fiber mode are required to mount this attenuator?

It uses a male SC connector on one end and a female SC connector on the other for OS1 single-mode simplex fiber.

How is the attenuator installed in a fiber link and what common mistake should be avoided?

Connect the male end into the female port and the female end onto the male patch cord, ensuring the simplex single-mode fiber path is not crossed.
