LCAT1001-02

Overview

The LCAT1001-02 is a fixed RF attenuator manufactured by L-com, designed for signal reduction in radio frequency circuits. It provides an attenuation value of 2 dB with an accuracy of ±0.5 dB. The component operates within a frequency range from DC to 3 GHz and features a 50 Ohm impedance. It supports a maximum input power of 2 Watts and maintains a Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) of less than 1.15:1. The unit utilizes SMA male-to-female connectors and is housed in a stainless steel body.

Feature Summary

• Stainless steel construction ensures durability and shielding effectiveness
• SMA connector interface facilitates standard RF system integration
• Wide operating temperature range supports diverse environmental conditions

Applications

• RF signal path conditioning
• Test and measurement equipment
• Communication systems

Procurement Notes
