Singlemod Zayıflatıcı Patchcordlar (In-line)
This specification covers the requirement of the Attenuated Patchcord for SM applications.
The SM Attenuated Patchcord is made by splicing a variable length of attenuated fibre to two
pigtails. The fusion splices are protected by an heat shrinkable sleeve and a stainless steel cylinder
filled with resin, as shown in the following images.
The SM Attenuated Patchcord is supplied with two terminations of any type of simplex connector for
2 mm cable.
The SM Attenuated Patchcord is available in the following versions:
Protection System (see technical drawings):
· Heat Shrinkable Transparent Tube.
· Plastic Boots. Colours available: White, Beige, Yellow, Red and Black.
Cables: 2 mm LSZH cable, Yellow, Blue and Orange colour ready on stock.
Nominal Attenuation Values: From 1 to 30 dB step 1 dB.
Length: Minimum 0.5 m.
Length Tolerance: -0/+5 cm - length < 1.00 m -0 cm/+5% - length 1.00 m

---|---|---|
1÷5 | ± 0.5 | |
6÷10 | ± 0.7 | |
11÷20 and 25 | ± 1.0 |
The I.L. value of the patchcord is measured including the I.L. of the connectors at each terminations.
As standard, the attenuated fibre is situated in the middle of the SM Patchcord, other solutions are
available on request.
The triple protection of the fusion splices (heat shrinkable sleeve – resin – stainless steel cylinder)
guarantee the same mechanical characteristics of equivalent standard patchcord.
