PM1550-400, Panda-Type Select Cutoff PM Optical Fiber
Coherent Polarization Maintaining Telco fibers are designed for today’s most advanced networks. Optimized for use at 1550 nm, these fibers are used in all PM applications for data and telecom. The bend insensitive versions offer the lowest bend loss and extinction ratios at small bend diameters.
Features and Benefits
- Tight specifications - Highly deterministic results
- High fatigue failure resistance - Longest service life
- Bend insensitive - Survives application in tight geometries
- All fiber proof tested to > 200 kpsi - Ensures long-term reliability
- RoHS compliant
Applications
- Pump and signal pigtails
- Lithium niobate modulators
- PMD compensators
- PM patchcords
- Polarization sensitive devices
