Types of Fiber Optic Attenuators
When looking at fiber optic attenuators, people always have several questions as to why would you purposely put attenuation on a fiber optic network. When testing fiber, attenuation is one of the key points that you are looking for. You want your attenuation to be as low as possible, so that you can
