Testing/Reference
patchcords
Testing/Reference
patchcords provide tighter specifications than standard patchcords. They
are made with concentric ferrules which result in lower Insertion Loss
and narrower standard deviation. The connector surface geometry conforms
to Telcordia's GR-326-CORE. Every reference patchcord has a unique serial
number tag as well as a detailed interferometer report which includes
all measured figures of end-face geometric parameters, insertion loss
and return loss. 

Features

- Return
loss > 55dB
- Comes
with DORC quality report
- Unique
serial no. tag on each testing patchcord
- Available
with FC, SC, ST, LC, MU connectors
