BNC Fixed Attenuator What it does and why you need it - Provides consistent, fixed signal attenuation for BNC-equipped systems, helping you reduce signal levels without altering waveform characteristics. - Protects sensitive receivers and test instruments from excessive input power by lowering signal amplitude before measurement or amplification. - Delivers reliable, repeatable performance in demanding conditions thanks to a 5W rated power capacity. Key benefits and standout features - High power handling: 5W rated power supports higher-load applications and maintains stability under sustained use. - Wide frequency coverage: Operates from DC to 3 GHz, making it suitable for a broad range of RF and low-frequency applications. - BNC compatibility: Standard BNC connection ensures easy integration with oscilloscopes, signal generators, spectrum analyzers, coaxial cabling, and other common test and RF equipment. - Precise, fixed attenuation: Simplifies setup by providing a known, unchanging attenuation value without the variability of variable attenuators. Important attributes - Function: Fixed attenuator for controlled reduction of signal amplitude. - Connector type: BNC connections for straightforward plug-and-play use. - Performance: Rated 5W power handling; frequency range DC–3 GHz. - Reliability: Designed for stable attenuation and consistent performance in measurement and RF workflows. Typical use scenarios - Test and measurement: Insert between signal sources and instruments (oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, signal generators) to prevent overdrive and obtain accurate amplitude readings. - RF system setup and troubleshooting: Use when configuring transmit/receive chains, bench testing antenna feeds, or verifying component responses across DC–3 GHz. - Field diagnostics and maintenance: Portable attenuation for protecting handheld receivers or monitoring equipment during site checks and repairs.
