MX SC/PC-SC/PC Attenuator Duplex MX-2180A 5DB,10DB

The Mx-2180A Attenuator Duplex is a high-performance optical device designed for precision and durability in fiber optic applications. Offering exceptional flexibility and control, this attenuator is ideal for scenarios requiring the precise regulation of light power without compromising signal integrity. The Mx-2180A is widely used in telecommunications, optical networks, and other fiber optic systems, providing reliable attenuation for signals in a variety of environmental conditions.

This attenuator operates with a specific attenuation level range, from 1 to 9 dB with a tolerance of 0.5 dB, ensuring fine control over the signal. The 10-20 dB range, on the other hand, has a 5% tolerance, offering flexibility while maintaining accuracy. These characteristics make it an ideal choice for applications requiring consistent and controlled signal attenuation. The precise attenuation control of the Mx-2180A ensures that signals are optimally adjusted, contributing to improved network performance and signal quality.

The Mx-2180A provides excellent back reflection specifications, with values of ≤ 50 dB for PC (Physical Contact) connectors and ≤ 60 dB for APC (Angled Physical Contact) connectors. These values indicate that the attenuator minimizes the amount of light reflected back toward the source, which is crucial for ensuring signal integrity and reducing the risk of interference in high-performance networks. The low back reflection feature is particularly important in optical communication systems, where maintaining a high signal-to-noise ratio is essential for reliable data transmission.

Another key advantage of the Mx-2180A is its low polarization dependent loss (PDL), rated at ≤ 0.5 dB. Polarization-dependent loss occurs when the attenuation of a signal changes depending on the polarization state of the light. The Mx-2180A attenuator minimizes this effect, making it suitable for use in systems where the polarization state of light may fluctuate, ensuring stable and predictable attenuation performance. This is especially important in high-precision applications where signal quality is paramount.

Designed to perform across a wide range of environmental conditions, the Mx-2180A operates within a temperature range of -20°C to 70°C, ensuring stable performance even in extreme conditions. It can also be stored in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 80°C, making it robust enough for use in various climates and environments, from outdoor installations to industrial settings.

One of the standout features of the Mx-2180A is its high power endurance. It is designed to withstand high optical power levels without degradation in performance. This makes it highly suitable for use in applications where high power signals are common, such as in long-haul optical transmission systems or high-capacity fiber networks. The Mx-2180A ensures that it can handle these power levels without compromising its attenuation properties or introducing excessive losses, offering a high level of reliability.

Furthermore, the Mx-2180A is wavelength independent, meaning it performs consistently across a broad range of wavelengths. This characteristic is essential for systems that operate at multiple wavelengths or across different types of optical networks. Whether used in a Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) system or a standard fiber optic network, the Mx-2180A provides stable attenuation, contributing to the overall efficiency and reliability of the optical communication system.

The Mx-2180A is designed for ease of use with simple manipulation features, ensuring that users can adjust attenuation levels without requiring specialized training or equipment. Its user-friendly design allows for quick and efficient operation, making it a convenient tool for engineers and technicians working in the field or in laboratory settings.

In summary, the Mx-2180A is a versatile and reliable optical attenuator offering precise control of light attenuation in fiber optic systems. With its low back reflection, high power endurance, low PDL, and wavelength-independent performance, it ensures stable signal quality in demanding applications. Its wide operating temperature range and simple manipulation features make it a robust and easy-to-use solution for professionals working in optical communications and other related fields. The Mx-2180A represents the ideal balance of performance, precision, and durability, making it an indispensable tool for modern fiber optic networks.
