Polarization Maintaining Patch Cables (original) (raw)

PM Patch Cables available from Stock AMS Technologies provides a broad range of polarization maintaining fiber patch cables with a large list of different connectors, connector finishes, coatings and fibers available for customization. We cover the spectrum from 200 nm up to 2200 nm with standard fiber. A growing portfolio of standard PM patch cables is available from stock: you can filter by connector type (FC/APC, FC/SPC, etc.), cable length, jacket outside diameter and colour as well as wavelength range and cutoff wavelength to select the right patch cable for your application.

Product Portfolio Within our portfolio, a series of high-power PM patch cables ensure maximum power handling for your application, while hermetically sealable PM patch cables with glass or metal solder feature a rugged hermetic feedthrough. If you need high extinction ratio, low insertion loss or any special testing at specific wavelengths, we provide you with an end-to-end solution for your PM patch cable needs – get in touch with the AMS Technologies fiber optics experts to discuss your customized PM patch cable solution.

Definition Fiber optic polarization maintaining (PM) patch cables consist of a polarization maintaining (PM) fiber, like PANDA or bow-tie, which is covered with an often yarn-reinforced coating with low refractive index and possibly an additional protective outer layer (jacket). PM patch cables are pre-terminated at one or both ends with suitable fiber connectors (e.g. FC or SC type) that feature a key defining the rotational orientation of the fiber.

Related Products In addition to polarization maintaining (PM) patch cables, AMS Technologies also carries a broad range of single mode (SM) and multi mode (MM) patch cables, either in various standard configurations or customizable to your requirements.
