Frequently Asked Questions

A Polarization Maintaining (PM) Patch Cord is a fiber optic cable built with polarization maintaining panda fiber and connectorized by FC/UPC or FC/APC connectors, designed to maintain the polarization of light as it travels through the fiber.

The key features include high extinction ratio, low insertion loss, default key alignment to the slow axis, and availability in various jacket cable diameters such as 250um, 900um, 2.0mm, and 3.0mm.

The PM Patch Cord is suitable for applications such as switching, EDFAs, coherent optical communications, integrated optics, high-speed transmission devices, external modulators, and interferometric sensors.

The available connector types are FC/UPC, SC/UPC, FC/APC, and SC/APC.

The maximum optical power the PM Patch Cord can handle is 300mW.

The operating temperature range is -20 to +70°C, and the storage temperature range is -40 to +85°C.
