Master Patchcord Standard Patchcord Reference Patchcord SM G.652D 1m 3.0mm LSZH Simplex 0.1dB Insertion Loss 3D Test Report

MAY TELECOM’s Master Patchcord, also named Reference Patchcord, is ideal for measuring and manufacturing of fiber optic components and high precision optical fiber testing.

Master Patchcord (Reference Patchcord) is equipped with highest quality connectors of high precicion concentricity, bore angle and connector endface geometric parameters. The high precision connectors determine very low insertion loss, very high return loss and high repeatability.

Features:

• Comply with IEC, TIA/EIA and Telcordia standards
• High temperature stability
• Excellent mechanical endurance
• 100% insertion loss testing
• 100% return loss testing
• Low insertion loss and high return loss
• 100% interferometric testing

• 100% visual inspection (IEC 61300-3-35 Standard)
