Fiber Attenuators allow you to reduce the optical signal strength so the data can be heard on the far side (receiving side)

Fiber-optic attenuator

  http://www.connectzone.com/media/products/products%20resized/FA-1FCA_PIC1.jpg In-line fiber optic attenuators commonly are available from 1 dB to 25 dB allowing you to reduce the signal strength of your optical signal so it isn't overpowered at the receiving end of the optical link. Light travels over a small glass strand which is measured in nanometer (nm) wavelengths the strength of the wavelengths signal is measured in decibels (nm).t the sign A fiber-optic data connection has a light wave traveling over it which are transmitted over the optical=glass-medium  & “read” at the receiving end; if the signal is too strong at the receiving end then the receiver can’t read the information. As both sound and light are measured

We have known that PC, UPC, APC is standard of the fiber optic connectors, PC, UPC, APC are short for: Physical Contact (PC), Ultra Physical Contact (UPC), and Angled Physical Contact (APC), they are actually the polish style of fiber optic ferrules. Below is a picture of the fiber optic ferrules. Unlike copper cables with copper thread in the connectors as connection media, fiber optic connectors are with these ceramic ferrules for connection, and different fiber optic connectors the ferrule size and length and polish styles are different, as can be seen on the picture. Such ferrules is inside the fiber optic connectors and with fiber glass from the fiber optic cable to plug into the ferrule for linking.  The different polish of the fiber optic connector ferrules result in different performance of them, mainly on the back reflection (return loss),.Generally, PC type is required at least 40dB return loss or higher, UPC is 50dB or higher, APC
