Single-mode fiber optic patch cord return loss
These single mode fiber optic patch cables are FC/APC terminated on both ends, making them ideal for systems that are sensitive to back reflections. The narrow key connector utilizes a ferrule that has an 8° angle polished tip, ensuring typical return loss of 60 dB. Insertion loss (IL) and return loss (RL) are key performance indicators of fiber optic patch cords. Fiber Optic Patch Cords are designed to interconnect, or cross-connect fiber networks within structured cabling systems for data centers, Broadband CATV, Passive Optical Networks (PON), WDM or DWDM multiplexing, FTTH, and voice services in ATM and SONET metropolitan and access networks.
