Attenuators

LC / SC / ST / FC Fixed Optical Attenuators: 

Fixed optical attenuators, such as LC, SC, ST, and FC types, are crucial components in optical networks designed to manage signal strength. At GAO Tek, we offer a range of attenuators tailored to different connector styles: 

• LC (Lucent Connector): Known for its compact size and push-pull locking mechanism, the LC attenuator is widely used in high-density applications, providing reliable performance in various scenarios. 

• SC (Subscriber Connector): With its snap-in design, the SC attenuator offers ease of use and consistent performance, making it a common choice for telecom and data networks. 

• ST (Straight Tip): Featuring a bayonet-style coupling mechanism, ST attenuators are typically employed in legacy systems and environments where durability is key. 

• FC (Ferrule Connector): Recognized for its screw-on coupling, FC attenuators offer high stability and are ideal for high-vibration environments or precision applications. 

Applications include adjusting signal power to maintain optimal performance, preventing signal overload, and ensuring consistent signal quality in fiber optic communication systems. GAO’s attenuators are essential in both single-mode and multi-mode fiber networks for telecommunications, data centers, and testing environments. 

Alternative names include optical power attenuators, fixed fiber attenuators, and optical loss modules. These devices are vital for calibrating optical networks, enabling accurate measurements, and ensuring signal integrity for us and our clients. 

Working with its sister companies, GAO RFID Inc. and GAO Research Inc. and with our corporate partners, GAO Tek Inc. is offering a comprehensive selection of advanced attenuators.
