Description
Generally, APC and UPC connectors are compatible, the identical keying notches indicate that the design considered mixed connections, that will result in a signal loss of approximately 3 dBm. If the signal after mixing is within -25 dBm, there is no need for an adapter. This characteristic can also be used to solve the problem of excessively strong fiber optic signals.

SC Attenautor Details
The optical fiber attenuator configure with a zinc alloy casing and ceramic ferrule, which offers excellent inter-mating performance, flame-retardant, high-temperature resistant, environmentally friendly, and boasts high impact strength and an aesthetically pleasing design.
This SC attenuator effectively suppresses ground loop noise, offers strong anti-interference capabilities, and prevents accidental damage to the main control system.
SC UPC to APC attenuators are widely used in applications such as visual fault locators, optical power meters, fiber optic patch cords, communication equipment rooms, fiber optic test instruments, and local area network cabling.
Yingda provide four types of attenuators for conversion, one metal material, the other is plastic type. Both types can convert from UPC to APC or from APC to UPC.
