Types of Attenuators Covered in this Study

This report includes the worldwide market forecast of the consumption of component-level fiber optic attenuators in communication applications. The optical attenuators, which are covered in this study, are fiber optic devices used to control (reduce) the power level of an optical signal used in an optical fiber.

Fiber optic attenuators are an important part of the optical communication link by allowing the adjustment of signal transmission into the dynamic range of the receiver. Either a fixed or variable attenuator is generally positioned before a receiver to adjust optical power that otherwise might fluctuate above an extreme range of the receiver’s design, causing it to generate errors.


The fiber optic attenuator market forecast is presented by the following product categories:

  • Fixed
    • Bulkhead/Plug/Panel Mount (Build-Out) with Connector
    • In-Line Jumper with Optical Fiber (not connector)

  • Variable (VOA)
    • Manually VOA
    • Electronically VOA

Types of Applications Covered in this Study

The worldwide market forecast of the consumption of fiber optic attenuators is segmented into the following communication applications:


  • Telecommunications
  • Private Data LAN/WAN
  • Cable TV
  • Specialty
    • The Specialty applications category includes various types of vehicles, medical, sensors, industrial, energy/oil/gas, and harsh-environment, military/aerospace applications, as well as non-specified (miscellaneous uses).

The market forecast data are segmented by the following functions:

  • Consumption Value (US$, million)
  • Quantity (number/units)
  • Average Selling Prices (ASP $, each)

Executive Summary

Fiber optic attenuators are an important part of the optical communication link by allowing the adjustment of signal transmission into the dynamic range of the receiver. Either a fixed or variable optical attenuator (VOA) is generally positioned before a receiver to adjust optical power.

Fixed-type (not adjustable) fiber optic attenuators refer to the attenuator that can reduce the power of fiber light at a fixed value loss. While variable fiber optic attenuators refer to the attenuator that can generate an adjustable loss to the fiber optic link.

The fiber optic component attenuator market forecast is segmented by fixed-types, which included Bulkhead/Build-Out attenuators, as well as Fixed In-Line Jumper attenuators. Additionally, the component attenuator category includes Manually-controlled VOAs, as well as Electronically-controlled VOAs.

In 2020, in terms of volume (quantity of units), the Fixed-type attenuators held the leading market share of nearly 83 percent; however, Fixed-type attenuators are price much lower than the VOAs.

The fastest annual growth of the worldwide consumption value of fiber optic component attenuators are forecast to be in the Private Network application, especially with expanding Data Centers, as well as in Specialty applications, which include fiber optic sensor system links.

Last year (2020), the Asia Pacific region (APAC) was the market share leader, with 38% consumption value of fiber optic component attenuators, followed very closely by the America region.
