10 dB Fixed Coaxial Attenuator, DC to 2 GHz

Service Description

End Product

Achieve precise signal control with this professional-grade 10 dB fixed coaxial attenuator. Designed as an in-line resistive PI pad, this component is engineered to lower signal amplitude by a known amount while maintaining a stable 50 Ohm impedance. It serves as a vital tool for protecting sensitive measurement equipment, extending the range of power meters, and improving impedance matching by reducing VSWR between adjacent components.

Featuring a durable brass body with nickel plating and versatile BNC interfaces, this bidirectional attenuator ensures consistent performance across the DC to 2 GHz frequency range. Whether preventing signal overload in amplifiers or fine-tuning receiver levels, this RF pad provides the reliability required for high-accuracy systems.
