3 dB Fixed Attenuator TNC Male (Plug) to TNC Female (Jack) DC to 12 GHz Rated to 2 Watts, Brass Body, 1.35:1 VSWR

L-com carries a wide range of fixed attenuators with a broad selection of attenuation levels, frequency ranges, and power dissipation ranges. RF microwave attenuators (also known as RF pads) lower the amplitude of a signal (attenuate) a known amount and can be used in a wide variety of applications. These attenuator pads are used when a signal needs to be reduced to protect measurement equipment or other circuitry, to extend the range of power meters and amplifiers, and to impedance match circuits by reducing the VSWR seen by adjacent components. RF attenuators can prevent signal overload in amplifiers, receivers and detectors, adjusting the signal level to a range that is optimal. Few RF components are as commonly used as fixed coaxial attenuators, and L-com carries one of the largest in-stock varieties and ships them same day. The 3 dB Fixed Attenuator LCAT7469-3 is rated to and operates from DC to 12 GHz. The versatile coaxial package uses TNC female to TNC male connectors.
