CT3369A-08

Attenuators Overview

The CT3369A-08 is a fixed coaxial attenuator from the Cal Test Electronics CT3369A series. It provides an attenuation value of 8 dB with a tolerance of 0.5 dB. The component operates within a frequency range of 0 Hz to 4 GHz and supports a maximum power rating of 2 W. It features BNC male-to-female connectors and maintains a characteristic impedance of 50 Ohms. The unit is designed for instrument-grade applications, ensuring stable signal reduction in RF test environments.

Attenuators Feature Summary

• Provides precise 8 dB signal attenuation for RF circuit testing
• Utilizes robust BNC male-to-female connector interface
• Supports continuous power handling up to 2 Watts
• Operates effectively across DC to 4 GHz frequency spectrum

Attenuators Applications

• RF signal level reduction in laboratory test setups
• Impedance matching between 50 Ohm source and load
