Product Sheet
MU/PC, MU/SPC or MU/UPC patch-cord
Patchcords or pigtails are available in variable length of single mode single fiber cable, one or both termination assembled with convex polishing MU/PC (or MU/SPC/UPC to increase the return loss) connector.
Each patchcord is identified by a serial number. Insertion and return loss measures at 1310 nm are enclosed. The unitary packaging supplied is a thin bubble bag. Other packaging available upon request.

MU/PC, MU/SPC or MU/UPC connector
Connector with zirconia ferrule and convex polishing. Besides its optimum optical features, this connector has been designed according to I-ETS 300671 standard with regard to tests of repeatability, impact, tension, etc. This connector provides a high connection port density in distribution units when compared to standard connectors.
It is used for field interconnection by operator companies all over the world in CATV networks, data voice networks..., where an excellent optical connection is required.
