Frequently Asked Questions - for PM patchcords
Q1. I am looking for a 50m long PM fiber cable, bundled with three fibers and with FC/APC connectors.
Q2. I am looking for a 1550nm PM patchcord, 3m long, FC/APC connector end 1, slow axis aligned to connector key and
FC/UPC end 2, fast axis aligned to connector key.
Q3. I am looking for mating adaptors or through adaptors to inter-connect two patchcords with tight tolerance.
Q4. The web specs show that the minimum ER is 23dB. Can you supply patchcords with higher ER value?

Q6. I want to emulate a few fixed values of PMD (DGD) for our lab testing. Say approx. 5, 10, and 15ps DGD.
Can you supply 1550nm PM patchords with calibrated DGD?
Q7. Do you have panda fibre that is 900um coated, or in a cord? Something more robust than bare fibre would be preferred.
Q1. I am looking for a 50m long PM fiber cable, bundled with three fibers and with FC/APC connectors.
A. Yes, we can bundle Polarization Maintaining fibers into one cable, for lengths of up to 50m. SMF28e fiber and PM fiber can also be bundled into one cable. Please refer to the below diagrams for the structure of the cables.

connector key and FC/UPC end 2, fast axis aligned to connector key.
A. Yes, we can make cables according to your specific requirements.
Please specify on your order form the part number: PMP-15-R-C-3-21-SF
Q3. I am looking for mating adaptors or through adaptors to inter-connect two patchcords with tight tolerance.
A. We stock several FC adaptors or sleeve-through adaptors suitable for FC/UPC and FC/APC patch cords/jumper leads.
Adaptors come in wide key and narrow key. Please refer to our PM adaptor list, below.
Q4. The web specs show that the minimum ER is 23dB. Can you supply patch cords with higher ER value?
A. Yes, we can supply patch cords/jumper leads with the ER over 25dB, The price will be 20% higher for these.
Q5. Can you supply PM patchcords without locking the key to slow or fast axis of the fiber, useful for lab
experiments?
A. Yes, we can supply connectors with a tuneable ferrule (360 degrees) with the key unlocked.
Please specify your requirement when ordering.
Q6. I want to emulate a few fixed values of PMD (DGD) for our lab testing.
Say approx. 5, 10, and 15ps DGD. Can you supply 1550nm PM patchords with calibrated DGD?
A. Yes, we can supply these types of patchcords, what we have is PM panda fiber, which is used for 1550nm PM
Patchcords with DGD 1.3ps/m. so the patchcord lengths will be 3.8m, 7.7m, 11.5m with +/-5cm length tolerance.
