Axiom Network Connector

Axiom Network Connector
Axiom fiber optic attenuators are designed for use in optical links with single-mode cables to reduce the power level of the fiber optic signal.

When fiber devices are connected with short runs of cable the signal can be too strong to receive on the other end. The optical signal doesn't have time to attenuate or lose strength as it travels down the fiber resulting in what is known as 'receive saturation'. This condition can damage optics because the signal exceeds the operating range of the receiving equipment. So when the signal reaches the other end it reflects back along the optical cable, causes distortion and disrupts data.

Attenuators solve this problem by incrementally reducing the power of the fiber optic signal and allows you to fine tune the fixed return loss in your network.
