PMC-1550-3-10/18-xxx

The main features of the fiber cable type PMC-1550-3-10/18-xxx (also known as PMC-1550-10.1-NA012-3-XPC-xxx-P) include

Fiber
The fiber is a polarization-maintaning, single-mode Panda fiber, defined by its NA and its cut-off wavelength. The nominal NA is 0.125 and is specified by the fiber manufacturer. Additionally the effective numerical aperture NAe² is measured for each fiber batch by Schäfter + Kirchhoff. The fiber has an effective numerical aperture NAe² of 0.092 and a cut-off wavelength λ_co of 1550 nm. Maximum wavelength is 1625 nm. Besides the nominal cut-off wavelength λ_co, Schäfter + Kirchhoff also offers measured data for the cut-off wavelength for each individual fiber cable.

Fiber cable
The fiber cable has a 3 mm jacket in black with Kevlar strain-relief and a length of xx cm.

Fiber Connectors
The fiber cable is equipped with a fiber connector of type FC PC (0 deg polish, wide key) at the one end and a fiber connector of type FC APC (8 deg polish, wide key) at the other end. All of the fiber connectors of type FC assembled by Schäfter + Kirchhoff have an alignment index (key). The wide key (type "N") fiber connector has an alignment index (key) of 2.14 mm width.
