Low Insertion Loss- one most important feature for Fiber Optic Cables
Low Insertion Loss- one most important feature for Fiber Optic Cables
Insertion loss and return loss are two important feature to evaluate the quality of many passive fiber optic components, such as fiber optic patch cord and fiber optic connectors, etc. Insertion loss refers to the fiber optic light loss caused when a fiber optic component insert into another one to form the fiber optic link. Insertion loss can result from absorption, misalignment or air gap between the fiber optic components. We want the insertion loss to be as less as possible. Maximum acceptable fiber patch cable insertion loss is usually 0.75 dB. As technology improves, the insertion loss of most today’s fiber patch cables is 0.35 dB.
According to TIA-568-C.0- 2 standards, maximum fiber loss of multimode fiber on 850nm is 3.5dB/km and on 1300nm is 1.5dB/km. Maximum fiber loss of single-mode fiber on 1310nm is 0.4dB/km and on 1550nm is 0.3dB/km.
Rollball has succeeded in lowering the loss to 0.3 dB for MTP connectors and to 0.2 dB for LC and SC connectors, well below the industry standard of 0.75 dB and loss values offered by other manufacturers. These lower loss values allow data center managers to deploy more connection points in fiber channels, enabling the use of distribution points or cross connects that significantly increase flexible configuration options.
Rollball low insertion loss fiber patch cables are available in multimode and single-mode LC, SC and MTP types for both 10G, 40G and 100G applications. For more detailed information, please contact sales@rollball.com.cn.
