An attenuator is a passive, in-line device that decreases the amount of signal strength by a specified amount (usually expressed in dB). For instance, Channel Vision’s model 3000-3 attenuates or reduces the incoming signal strength by 3dB. Attenuators are normally used after an amplifier in an RF system to decrease the signal to televisions located on short coax runs.
