Attenuators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific model suffix ensures the correct 3 dB attenuation value, as the CT3369A series includes various attenuation options. Confirm that the BNC connector gender matches the required male-to-female configuration for your setup. Check RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to your procurement. Ensure the 2W power rating aligns with your system's thermal management capabilities. Validate the 4 GHz frequency limit against your operational bandwidth requirements before ordering.

Attenuators Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 3 dB reduction is required between BNC interfaces. Consider the 50 Ohm impedance match for standard RF systems. Evaluate the 2W power capacity against peak signal levels. The wide temperature range suits harsh environment deployments. Compare against other series values if different attenuation steps are needed.
