SA10P2W-15

Attenuators Overview

The SA10P2W-15 is a fixed attenuator manufactured by Fairview Microwave, designed for high-frequency signal management. It features an SMP male plug to SMP female jack configuration, providing a constant attenuation of 15 dB across its operational bandwidth. The device supports frequencies up to 10 GHz and handles a continuous power rating of 2 Watts. Constructed with a passivated stainless steel body, it ensures durability in demanding environments. The component maintains a Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) of 1.4:1, indicating efficient signal transmission with minimal reflection within the specified frequency range.

Attenuators Feature Summary

• Provides precise 15 dB signal attenuation for RF applications
• Utilizes robust passivated stainless steel housing for environmental resistance
• Ensures signal integrity with a low VSWR of 1.4:1

Attenuators Applications

• RF test and measurement equipment signal conditioning
• Microwave communication system power level adjustment
• Laboratory instrumentation input protection

Attenuators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector interface compatibility between the SMA or SMP male plug and female jack against your existing cabling infrastructure. Confirm that the 2 Watt power rating aligns with the maximum expected signal levels in your circuit to prevent thermal damage. Ensure the 10 GHz frequency coverage meets your system's operational requirements. Cross-reference the passivated stainless steel material specifications if corrosion resistance is critical for your deployment environment.

Attenuators Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed 15 dB reduction is required at frequencies up to 10 GHz. The SMP connector type offers a compact form factor suitable for dense panel mounting or small footprint designs compared to larger connectors. Consider the 2 Watt power handling capability as the upper limit for continuous operation. This component is ideal for applications requiring stable attenuation without variable adjustment mechanisms.

Attenuators Part Context

This component belongs to the series of connectorized attenuators produced by Fairview Microwave. These devices are engineered to provide reliable signal attenuation in microwave and radio frequency circuits. The product line typically includes various attenuation values and connector types to support diverse engineering needs. The SA10P2W-15 specifically addresses the need for moderate signal reduction in high-frequency SMP-based systems.

Attenuators Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 15 dB attenuation value, 10 GHz frequency limit, and SMP male-to-female interface. Verify that alternative components maintain the 2 Watt power rating and similar VSWR performance. Check for compatible mechanical dimensions if space constraints are strict.
