Switch-type optical attenuator
An optical attenuator, or fiber optic attenuator, is a device used to reduce the power level of an optical signal, either in free space or in an optical fiber. The basic types of optical attenuators are fixed, step-wise variable, and continuously variable. The power reduction is done by such means as absorption, reflection, diffusion, scattering, deflection, diffraction, and dispersion, etc.

Standard Optical Attenuator Specifications
Standard attenuation values are 5, 10, 15, and 20 dB, available in SC, FC, ST, and LC connector styles. Using no air gap, filters, or light path discontinuities, attenuation is achieved by controlled absorption of light energy. OZ Optics offers a compact, rugged and low cost digital attenuator with high resolution, high speed, high attenuation range and high power han-dling (blocking technique only). The product range comes with extremely low return loss and high-quality ceramic ferrules that will deliver in the most demanding applications and ensure repeatable performance.

Suriname Adjustable Attenuator Principle
Attenuators are usually passive devices made from simple voltage divider networks. Switching between different resistances forms adjustable stepped attenuators and continuously adjustable ones using potentiometers. A 3 dB pad reduces power to one half, 6 dB to one fourth, 10 dB to one tenth, 20 dB to one hundredth, 30 dB to one thousa.

What is the normal value in dB for an optical power meter
An optical power meter is an instrument used to measure the absolute optical power or the relative loss of optical power passing through a section of optical fiber. Typical power levels measured by an optical power meter: Telecom transmitters: 0 to +10 dBm (1 to 10 milliwatts), Receivers: -30 dBm (1 microwatt) DWDM systems with fiber amplifiers: +10 to +20 dBm (10 to 100 milliwatts), Receivers: -20 to -30 dBm (1-10 microwatt) Data links and LANs: 0 to -10 dBm. While dBm is the actual power level represented in milliwatts, dB (decibel) is the difference between the powers.
