• Ideal for use with our Fiber Collimation Packages to Minimize Fresnel Losses
• One AR-Coated FC/PC Connector Improves Return Loss
• One FC/APC Uncoated Connector
• Ravg < 0.5% for 1550 ± 100 nm
• Fiber: SMF-28e+

This AR-coated patch cable has a center wavelength of 1550 nm. The AR-coated, narrow key FC/PC connector (black boot) at the output side provides a reflectivity of <0.5% over the 1550 ± 100 nm range. The input side of the patch cable is supplied with a narrow key FC/APC connector (non-AR-coated). It is well-suited for use with our selection of fiber collimators. This cable features a Ø3 mm Kevlar reinforced furcation tubing.

Note that the AR-coated end is meant for free-space applications (e.g., collimation) and will be damaged if it comes into contact with another connector tip. Mating two AR-coated connectors can increase back reflections causing a greater loss of transmission than when just using two uncoated connectors. For custom-coated patch cables, please contact Tech Support.
