Overview
The Cisco WS-X6K-5DB-ATT is a 5 dB fixed loss optical attenuator designed for 1550 nm wavelength applications. This spare part provides precise attenuation to balance optical power levels in dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) and long haul fiber networks. Engineered for reliability and easy integration, it helps maintain signal integrity and protects sensitive transceiver equipment from over-power conditions.
Key Features
- Fixed attenuation of 5 dB for 1550 nm signals
- Compact, rack-mountable form factor compatible with Cisco 6500 series chassis
- Low insertion loss and high repeatability
- Robust construction for harsh data center environments
- Plug-and-play installation with standard fiber optic connectors
Technical Specifications
- Attenuation: 5 dB +/- 0.2 dB
- Wavelength range: 1550 nm +/- 20 nm
- Connector type: Standard LC duplex
- Operating temperature: 0 deg to 70 deg C
- Storage temperature: -40 deg to 85 deg C
- Power consumption: None (passive device)
- Dimensions: 1.75 in (H) x 4.5 in (W) x 6.0 in (D)
- Compliance: RoHS, FCC Part 15 Class B
Applications
- DWDM and CWDM systems requiring precise power balancing
- Long haul and metro fiber optic links operating at 1550 nm
- Optical transport networks (OTN) and carrier Ethernet deployments
- Data center interconnects where signal level control is critical
- Network protection schemes that need consistent attenuation across redundant paths
By integrating the Cisco WS-X6K-5DB-ATT into your optical infrastructure, you gain accurate power management, enhanced network performance, and added protection for valuable transceiver hardware.
