Frequently Asked Questions

What is a polarization maintaining (PM) fiber optic patch cord used for?
A polarization maintaining fiber optic patch cord preserves the linear polarization state of light as it travels through the fiber. It is commonly used in coherent optical communications, EDFAs, external modulators, interferometric sensors, integrated optics, switching systems, and high-speed optical transmission devices where stable polarization is critical.
Which wavelengths are available for the TARLUZ PM panda fiber patch cord?
The TARLUZ PM patch cord is available for multiple alignment wavelengths, including 375 nm, 405 nm, 460 nm, 630 nm, 780 nm, 980 nm, 1064 nm, 1300 nm, 1550 nm, and 2000 nm. Depending on the selected version, the operating wavelength range can cover from 350 nm to 2200 nm.
What connector types and polish options are supported for this PM patch cable?
The datasheet lists FC, SC, and LC connector types, with PC/UPC or APC polishing options. FC connectors can be supplied with either narrow key or wide key configurations. The datasheet also notes that additional connector styles such as ST, MU, MPO, and MTP may be available upon request.
What are the insertion loss and extinction ratio specifications of the PM patch cord?
Insertion loss depends on wavelength. Typical insertion loss ranges from about 0.3 dB at 1300 nm, 1550 nm, and 2000 nm to about 1.2 dB at shorter visible wavelengths. The minimum extinction ratio ranges from 15 dB to 23 dB, with typical values up to 25 dB for 1300 nm, 1550 nm, and 2000 nm versions.
Can the slow axis or fast axis be aligned to the connector key?
Yes. By default, the slow axis of the PM panda fiber is aligned to the connector key. Fast-axis alignment can also be requested if required by the optical system. Correct axis alignment is important for maintaining polarization performance in PM fiber assemblies.
What is the difference between narrow key and wide key FC connectors for PM fiber patch cords?
For FC-type PM connectors, the key controls rotational alignment of the fiber axes. This patch cord can be supplied with a narrow key measuring approximately 1.97 to 2.02 mm or a wide key measuring approximately 2.09 to 2.14 mm. Matching the key type to the mating adapter is important for proper polarization axis alignment.
What cable formats, power rating, and temperature range are available?
The PM patch cord can be supplied as 250 µm bare fiber, 900 µm buffered fiber, 2.0 mm cable, 3.0 mm cable, or armored cable. The maximum optical power is 300 mW. The operating temperature range is 0°C to +70°C, and the storage temperature range is -40°C to +85°C.
