Tyco Electronics’ high performance

Build Out Attenuators utilize a unique

all-fiber construction to absorb the

optical signal.

By employing a Tyco Electronics’

technology, the design minimizes

reflectance, attenuation tolerance

and PDL while maximizing reliability,

environmental stability, and power

handling. There are no filters, air

gaps, or core mismatches.
