German term or phrase: Kopplermodul / Dämpfungsspleiße
These terms appear in a DE patent concerning attenuation modules in an optical network.

"Im Kopplermodul ... zwischen dem Kopplerausgang des ersten Kopplers und dem nachgeschalteten Kopplern is jeweils ein Dämpfungsspleiß eingeschaltet."

coupler module / attenuation splice
Explanation:
This first URL in particular might be quite helpful for your purposes (see excerpt below):
In any signal transmission system, the low loss splicing of transmission line segments is fundamental to optical performance and reliability. The precise nature of fiber optics demands a high level of skill and attention to detail on the part of the fiber technician. Unlike copper wire that relies on simple contact for a low attenuation splice, optical fibers must be correctly aligned and held in position to transfer a maximum amount of light across the splice. In addition, because the glass fiber is vulnerable at the splice point, it must be protected from the elements and from mechanical stresses

Explanation:
Koppler, auch Kopplung, Koppeler=electr.techn. coupling, coupler, biol. linking/linkeage etc.

Modul bleibt immer module

Daempfung-=in gen. steam, akk. muffling,
absorption, vapor, and much more depending on entire context. As far as
I can see here, it should be steam
-spleiss=splice
