Black Box FOAT50S1-LC-5DB Single-Mode Fiber Optic Attenuator

The Black Box FOAT50S1-LC-5DB is a fixed 5dB fiber optic attenuator designed to reduce signal strength in single-mode fiber optic networks where optical power levels exceed equipment specifications. This LC-type attenuator features UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) polish and precision ceramic ferrules for consistent, reliable performance.

Key Features

• Fixed 5dB attenuation with ±0.5dB tolerance for predictable signal reduction
• LC connector with UPC polish for low insertion loss and high return loss (≥55dB)
• Single-mode fiber compatibility at 1310/1550nm wavelengths
• Ceramic ferrule construction for durability and signal integrity
• GR-910 compliant design meets Telcordia industry standards
• Male-to-female configuration for inline installation
• Lifetime warranty for long-term reliability

Applications

Essential for data centers, telecommunications networks, and enterprise fiber installations where equipment is located in close proximity or where optical transmit power exceeds receiver sensitivity. Prevents equipment damage from overpowered optical signals and ensures optimal performance across fiber links.
