Multi Mode Patchcords; 440 to 1625 nm; Attenuation 0.5 to 20 dB; Return Loss 50, 60 dB; Power Handling ≤2 W OZ Optics’ PFA series of low cost fixed attenuating multi mode fiber patchcords is ideal for high power applications and can be easily installed into fiber splice enclosures. The Attenuating Fiber Advantage: OZ Optics has recently enhanced its fixed attenuator product line by developing a new technology to precisely attenuate signals in fibers. This patent pending, fully automatable technique allows one to create fixed attenuators within any standard fiber, with low polarization dependent loss (PDL) and high power handling. The resultant attenuating fiber is physically identical in appearance and behaviour to the original fiber, allowing it to be used to build attenuating fiber patchcords. As the process used does not require the manufacture of special fiber, fixed attenuators can be constructed in small batch quantities economically. At the same time the automation aspect of the techniques allows large quantity orders to be manufactured at a reasonable cost. For the FPA attenuating multi mode fiber patchcords to work properly, the light travelling through the fiber must be incoherent and has to excite the fiber modes uniformly. Attenuating fiber is capable of handling up to 2 W of optical power at 1550 nm. The attenuating section is only a couple of millimetres to a couple of centimeters long, depending on the attenuation. The fiber used in OZ attenuators features a double cladding, with an absorbing dopant in the inner cladding layer. This double cladding structure effectively suppresses light scattering into the cladding. Thus the readings will not significantly depend on the application. Attenuating patchcords are available with between 0.5 and 20 dB attenuation, in 0.1 dB increments. Higher attenuation levels and higher resolution attenuation steps are possible. Prototype and custom designs can be made quickly and in small volumes economically. Key Features: New Patented Technique Not Based on Fusion Splice Wide Wavelength Range Low Backreflection Polarization Insensitive Wide Range of Connectors Applications: Optical Power Equalization; CATV, LAN and Telecommunications; Test and Measurement; Channel Balancing for WDM Systems; Receiver Padding; Optical Transmission Systems

Polarization Maintaining; 480 to 1625 nm; Fiber Type PANDA, others; Insertion Loss ≤0.4 to ≤1.5 dB; Operating Temperature Range -20 to +70 °C OZ Optics’ PMJ series of polarization maintaining (PM) patchcords are based on a high precision butt-style connection technique. The PM axis orientation is maintained by using male connectors with a positioning key and a bulkhead female receptacle with a tightly toleranced keyway, ensuring good repeatability in extinction ratios and insertion losses.The polarization axis of a fiber is aligned with the connector key by rotating either the connector frame or the fiber itself until the polarization axis is in line with keyway of the connector. Once the fiber is correctly aligned, the alignment can be fixed with a drop of glue or epoxy. OZ Optics minimizes backlash and rotational errors in the PM axis alignment by using specially designed PM ferrules and connector housings.Patchcords are normally offered pre-aligned and referenced with the slow axis aligned to the connector key for optimum coupling efficiency and extinction ratios. Non-angled FC PM connectors are also available unaligned and unlocked (rotatable) for lab use. Unless otherwise specified, pre-aligned patchcords are oriented such that the slow axis of the fiber is aligned with the key of the connector and locked. These patchcords maintain polarization to better than 20 dB. Higher extinction ratios are available upon request. In general, OZ Optics uses polarization maintaining fibers based on the PANDAfiber structure when building polarization maintaining components and patchcords. However OZ Optics can construct devices using other PM fiber structures, including 80 µm cladding sizes. If necessary, OZ Optics is willing to use customer supplied fibers to build devices. OZ Optics uses a 2.00 mm housing key for its standard FC/PC PM connector design. This is known also as a type “R” keywidth. Also available are FC/PC connectors with a 2.14 mm housing key (Type “N”). Sleeve through adaptors are available to connect same size keys or to convert from a 2.00 mm to a 2.14 mm key connector. In addition to patchcords and sleeve through adaptors, OZ Optics provides male PM connectors and ferrules for fiber termination, bulkhead receptacles to attach fibers to devices as well as ferrules for different fiber sizes.
