BNC Fixed Attenuator — 5 W, DC to 3 GHz Key benefits - Reliable, predictable signal attenuation: reduces signal amplitude to protect downstream equipment and enable accurate measurements. - Stable under load: 5 W rated power handles higher signal levels without performance degradation. - Wide frequency coverage: DC to 3 GHz supports a broad range of RF and test applications. What it does - Fixed BNC attenuator designed to provide consistent, precise attenuation through a standard BNC interface. - Helps prevent receiver or instrument overload, improves measurement repeatability, and aids system-level signal control. Important attributes - Connector type: BNC interface for easy connection to BNC-equipped instruments and cables. - Power handling: Rated 5 W for continuous operation at specified conditions. - Frequency range: Operates from DC up to 3 GHz for compatibility with many RF systems and test instruments. - Construction: Engineered for reliable, repeatable performance in typical lab and field environments. Compatibility and use - Works with equipment that uses BNC connections, including signal generators, spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, RF transceivers, and test setups. - Suitable for both bench testing and in-line attenuation in deployed systems. Practical use scenarios 1) Test bench protection: Place between a signal generator and a sensitive receiver or analyzer to reduce input level and prevent overload during measurements. 2) Calibration and measurement: Use to step down signal amplitudes for accurate characterization of components or systems while keeping connections simple with BNC. 3) Field or lab RF systems: Integrate inline to control signal levels in RF links, transmitter test setups, or prototyping environments where BNC connectivity is used. Why choose this unit - Clear specification set: fixed attenuation via BNC with a 5 W power rating and DC–3 GHz frequency range for broad applicability. - Simple integration: BNC connector form factor makes it straightforward to add to existing BNC-based setups without adapters. Note: This is a fixed-value BNC attenuator; select the specific attenuation value you require when ordering.
