Kenyan network installers should begin with the actual mating interfaces and site fiber records before assigning this product to a link. The attenuator test cable combines a calibrated 10 dB fixed element with a test-grade LC patch cord in one product. Because it reproduces the loss of a long fiber pathway on the bench, long-reach transceivers are qualified at their specified receive level before rollout.
For Kenyan backbone and FTTH rollouts, fixed plug attenuators appropriate overloaded receivers on short routes without adding patch leads to the channel.
Attenuator Test Cables
LC to LC UPC Simplex OS2 Single Mode Fiber Optic Test Cable with 10dB Attenuator10db attenuation, ion-doped fiber element, factory tested.
Record which channel each deployed attenuator serves so replacement orders match the original rating.
How to Order and Factory Support
All attenuators in this range are optically verified before packing: attenuation rating, return loss and end-face condition are checked on every unit. State the attenuation rating, connector range, polish grade and body style with the request, and the factory confirms the specification with the quotation. Project support for Kenya and East Africa is available to reconcile the ordered configuration with the intended installation.
