IEC Grade B Fiber Optic Patchcord
IEC Grade B Fiber Optic Patchcord is fiber jumper with random mating performance complying with Grade B, which IEC-61753-1 defines. More than 97% of Fiber Optic Patchcords mate with each other randomly, the maximum insertion loss is 0.25dB and the average loss is less than 0.12dB. All Grade B connectors comply with IEC-61754 and Connector Endface is superior to IEC-61755.
