Frequently Asked Questions

What is a polarization maintaining PM fiber optic patch cord used for?

A polarization maintaining PM fiber optic patch cord is used to transmit linearly polarized light while preserving the input polarization state. It is commonly used in coherent optical communications, EDFAs, fiber optic switching, integrated optics, high-speed transmission systems, external modulators, interferometric sensors, and other polarization-sensitive photonic systems.

What wavelengths are available for the TARLUZ polarization maintaining patch cord?

The TARLUZ PM patch cord is available for 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 covers approximately 350 nm to 2200 nm.

What connector types are supported by this PM fiber patch cable?

The datasheet lists FC, SC, and LC connector options, with PC, UPC, or APC polishing available depending on configuration. The product description also notes that other connector formats such as ST, MU, MPO, and MTP may be available on request. For FC connectors, both narrow key and wide key versions can be supplied.

What insertion loss and extinction ratio can I expect from this 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. Maximum insertion loss is specified from 0.5 dB to 1.5 dB depending on wavelength. The extinction ratio ranges from a minimum of 15 dB at shorter wavelengths up to 23 dB minimum at 1300 nm, 1550 nm, and 2000 nm, with typical values up to 25 dB.

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. The fast axis can also be aligned to the connector key upon request, making the patch cord suitable for systems that require a specific polarization axis orientation.

What is the difference between UPC and APC polishing for this PM fiber optic patch cord?

UPC polishing provides a typical return loss of 50 dB, while APC polishing provides a typical return loss of 60 dB. APC connectors are generally preferred when lower back reflection is required, such as in high-power lasers, coherent systems, interferometry, and other reflection-sensitive optical setups.

What fiber and cable jacket options are available for the polarization maintaining patch cord?

The patch cord is manufactured with PM panda fiber from suppliers such as Nufern, Corning, Fujikura, YOFC, or another specified fiber brand. Cable formats include 250 µm bare fiber, 900 µm buffered fiber, 2.0 mm cable, 3.0 mm cable, and armored cable. The specified maximum optical power is 300 mW, with an operating temperature range of 0°C to +70°C and storage temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
