Polarization Maintaining PM Patch Cord 980 1060 1310 1550 nm

Polarization Maintaining PM Patch Cord 980,1060,1310,1550 nm
PM jumper leads

Polarization maintaining (PM) patch cord /jumper leads are built with polarization maintaining panda fiber and connectorise using FC/UPC, FC/APC, SC/UPC, SC/APC and LC connectors. FC connectors can be supplied with wide key (2.14mm, N type) or narrow key (2.02mm, R key) width. Patchcords can be supplied in 250um bare fiber, 900um buffered fiber or 3mm cable. PMP features low insertion loss, high extinction ratio and high return loss. Slow or fast axis can be aligned to connector key.

	Q2. I am looking for a 1550nm PM fiber jumper lead, 3m long, FC/APC connector end 1, slow axis aligned to connector key and FC/UPC end 2, fast axis aligned to connector key.
	A. Yes, we can make cables according to your specific requirements. Please specify on your order form the part number: PMP-15-R-C-3-21-SF

	Q3. I am looking for mating adaptors or through adaptors to inter-connect two patchcords with tight tolerance.
	A. We stock several FC adaptors or sleeve-through adaptors suitable for FC/UPC and FC/APC patch cords/jumper leads. Adaptors come in wide key and narrow key. Please refer to our PM adaptor list, below.

	Q4. The web specs show that the minimum ER is 23dB. Can you supply patch cords with higher ER value?
	A. Yes, we can supply patch cords/jumper leads with the ER over 25dB, The price will be 20% higher for these.

	Q5. Can you supply PM patchcords without locking the key to slow or fast axis of the fiber, useful for lab experiments?
	A. Yes, we can supply connectors with a tuneable ferrule (360 degrees) with the key unlocked. Please specify your requirement when ordering.

	Q6. I want to emulate a few fixed values of PMD (DGD) for our lab testing. Say approx. 5, 10, and 15ps DGD. Can you supply 1550nm PM patchords with calibrated DGD?
	A. Yes, we can supply these types of patchcords, what we have is PM panda fiber, which is used for 1550nm PM Patchcords with DGD 1.3ps/m. so the patchcord lengths will be 3.8m, 7.7m, 11.5m with +/-5cm length tolerance.
	ordering sample: PMP-15-LT-7.7-22 PM patchcord, 1550nm, 900um tight buffered panda fiber, 7.7m +/-5cm length, FC/APC connector both ends, slow axis align to connector key

	Q7. Do you have panda fibre that is 900um coated, or in a cord? Something more robust than bare fibre would be preferred.
	A. We use 900um tubing to make patchcord lengths up to 5 metrs(250/900um). For longer lengths, 900um tight buffered panda fiber has to be used. Generally, the price is higher for 900um tight buffered fiber.
