Optronics Passive Overview

Optronics Passive

Attenuators

Optronics High Performance Attenuated patch cords are used to attenuate optical signal in an optical link. Attenuated patch cords can be installed in place of conventional patch chords to provide a constant level of attenuation with >50 dB return loss. This can be used to replace the conventional cable assembly-attenuator
combination. It is a compact, multi purpose passive device designed to operate in 1310 and 1550nm wavelengths. Attenuated patch cords can be provided with various connector styles SC, ST and FC to meet customer’s requirements. Optronics Attenuated patch cords comes to you from a world class manufacturing facility backed by 20 years of experience in manufacturing fibre optic passive and active devices. Products coming out of this facility have found worldwide applications in Computer networking, Telecommunications and Cable TV.

Description

The Optronics optical fibre patch cords are manufactured using the best quality components. The connectors are the market leading Optronics

range of connectors, and the cable exceeds all areas of the standards.

The Optronics range of patch cords has grown through the years, from industry standard 62.5/125 multimode to 9/125 single mode , Optronics can

supply them all.

Non-standard cables can be made to your own exacting standards in our ISO 9001 UK production facility. This encompasses all of the essential tools to ensure the products not only meet but also exceed the requirements laid down in IEC international standards for fibre optic terminations.

For full information on the Optronics connectors used on the Optronics patch cords, please contact Auriga for a connector data sheet.

Intermateability

Optically and mechanically compatible with all equivalent connectors.

Compliant with IEC 874-14.
