Single Mode FC/APC Fiber Optic Patch Cables
SM Patch Cables for Signal Transmission from 320 nm to 2300 nm
Description
These single-mode fiber optic patch cables are FC/APC terminated on both ends, making them ideal for systems that are sensitive to back reflections. The narrow key connector utilizes a ferrule that has an 8° angle polished tip, ensuring a typical return loss of 60dB. Each cable is FC/APC terminated on both ends, and cables are available in 1, 2, 5, or 10 m lengths. All cables are manufactured in our facility on state-of-the-art equipment. Available from stock, these cables feature either Ø3.0mm PVC protective jackets or Ø900 µm Hytrel® furcation tubing. The thinner profile of the Ø900 µm jacketed cables allows them to be used with our Manual Fiber Polarization Controllers (available).
Each patch cable includes two protective caps that shield the ferrule ends from dust and other hazards. Additional Plastic Fiber Caps and Threaded Metal Caps for FC/APC-terminated ends are also sold separately. Mating sleeves/Adapters are available to connect FC/APC to FC/APC connectors. These mating sleeves minimize back reflections and ensure proper alignment of the cores of each terminated fiber end.
For shorter wavelengths, we offer Low-Insertion-Loss Patch Cables, which feature handpicked single-mode fiber with tighter core concentricity specifications for lower insertion loss and higher transmission.
We also offer AR-Coated Single Mode Patch Cables, which have an anti-reflective coating on one fiber end for higher performance in fiber-to-free space applications. If you cannot find the appropriate stock patch cable your application requires, we also offer custom patch cables with very short time shipping.
