Description

An attenuated patchcord combines an attenuator and a patchcord in one unit. An attenuator is used to reduce the optical power in the transmission fibre. A common application is to balance the optical power between multi-fibre systems and to reduce the receiver saturation that limits the system performance. The attenuator can also absorb excess signals, as too much light can saturate the reference measurements.
