The Weinschel 6536 is a fixed coaxial attenuator engineered for precision signal attenuation from DC to 3.0 GHz. Offering attenuation values from 3 dB to 30 dB with ±1.00 dB accuracy, this bi-directional device delivers stable, repeatable performance across demanding test, measurement, telecommunications, and aerospace applications.
Constructed from black aluminum alloy with passivated stainless steel Type N or DIN 7/16 connectors, the 6536 meets MIL-DTL-3933 environmental specifications and operates reliably from -55°C to +125°C. Resistant resistive films ensure bilateral impedance match and support high-power inputs without degradation.
