    Product Spotlight - Inline Fiber Optic Attenuators


    An optical attenuator is a device used to reduce the level of an optical signal, either in free space or in an optical fiber. They are commonly used in fiber optic communications. Optical attenuators used in fiber optic communications systems may use a variety of principles for their functioning. Those using the gap loss principle are sensitive to the modal distribution ahead of the attenuator, and should be used at or near the transmitting end, or they may introduce less loss than intended. Optical attenuators using absorptive or reflective techniques avoid this problem. Because an air gap is subject to variations from contamination etc, attenuators without air gaps (based on doping etc) are more stable over time. The basic types of optical attenuators are fixed, step-wise

  3. Where do geeks buy cables?

    Where do they buy Cisco compatible Cables?

    CAB L520P C19 US

    Where else ConnectZone.com as everyone knows is the best source for cables for Custom cables as well as many other Cables and Fiber Optics

    Several times this year a sales engineer has called Connectzone.com looking for a cable that no one else had in stock ; and as always Connectzone shipped the cables the same day saving some geeks project again. This time the cable was a CAB-L520P-C19-US cable but the time before they couldn’t locate a CAB-HD8-ASYNC
