Specifications:

The AA264-87 attenuator offers 87 dB of attenuation. It typically operates over a wide frequency range, usually from DC to several GHz (check datasheet for specific range). The VSWR is typically low, often below 1.3:1, ensuring minimal signal reflections. The power handling capability is designed to withstand moderate power levels (Consult the manufacturer's datasheet for exact power rating, but it is likely in the 1-2 Watt range). It usually uses SMA connectors for compatibility with standard RF cables. The attenuator's impedance is usually 50 Ohms. It is built using thin-film resistor technology for high precision and stability. The operating temperature range is generally from -55°C to +125°C. The small size allows for easy integration into various RF circuits. The exact frequency range, power handling, and temperature specifications should be verified from the manufacturer's datasheet for this particular model.
