Avalanche Photodiode APD Module for OTDR

Bare Fiber; 125-140 µm; Cleaved; Ø3.8x38 mm; Material Borosilicate Glass; Average Light Loss 0.20 dB; Operating Temperature -40-+80°C Norland Products’ UVC fiber optic splice is the first really easy-to-use, high-performance connection for optical fibers. This splice incorporates a precision TRW glass alignment guide and a proactive glass sleeve in a unique one-piece design that minimizes handling of bare fiber. Everything has been carefully engineered into this compact 38 mm glass tube. Just fill with Norland optical adhesive, insert fibers and cure for a sturdy, ready to handle splice in minutes. The wide mouth entrance of the splice makes it easy to insert fibers. This versatile design feature also allows the one splice to accommodate all types of fiber with any size buffer coating up to 1 mm in diameter. The fibers easily slide into the central glass guide and automatically align with pinpoint accuracy. The all-glass construction provides the perfect thermal match for optical fibers and assures long stability over a wide range of temperatures. Two variants are available: Part No. 20125 is an UVC optical splice that fits 125 µm to 140 µm fiber, while 20126 is suitable for preinstalling pigtails that also fits 125 µm to 140 µm fiber. A compact, metal precision machine fixture is available as an accessory, that holds a splice and fibers for optimum alignment and cure.
