RF Signal Attenuator for Distribution Systems

The Holland Electronics FAM-16 is an in-line attenuator designed to reduce signal levels in coaxial cable feeds. It serves CATV, Off-Air, SMATV and other RF distribution systems where precise signal loss is required. Installers can combine multiple units to reach the exact attenuation needed for a specific installation.

Simple Coaxial In-Line Installation

The device inserts directly into an existing coaxial line without specialised tools or external power. Its brass body with nickel plating and steel centre pin provide durable connections across the 5 MHz to 3 GHz range. The main installation error is exceeding the 16 dB fixed value when a different loss figure is actually required.

Fixed 16 dB Attenuation Value

This model provides a single, non-adjustable 16 dB reduction with 5 % accuracy and flatness of .8 dB across the band. Return loss measures 25 dB at .5 GHz, 22 dB at 1 GHz and 18 dB at 2 GHz. It is not suited for applications needing variable attenuation or a different fixed dB value.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the FAM-16 attenuator is reducing the signal by 16dB after installation?

Measure the signal level before and after the device with a calibrated RF meter; a 16dB drop across the 5MHz-3GHz range confirms correct operation.

What comes with the FAM-16 attenuator and what must I supply?

The unit itself is supplied; you must provide the coaxial cables and F-type connectors for the in-line installation.

When would I choose the 16dB version instead of a different value?

Select the 16dB model when your system design calls for exactly 16dB of attenuation; combine multiple units if a different total loss is required.
