Description

The main features of the fiber cable type PMC-460-3-18-xxx (also known as PMC-460-3.3-NA012-3-APC-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 0.12 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 0.081 and a cut-off wavelength λco of 450 nm. Maximum wavelength is 700 nm. Besides the nominal cut-off wavelength λco, 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 fiber connectors of type FC APC (8 deg polish, wide key) 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.
