Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary use for the fiber mirror cable?
The TJ-B104-MIRROR is primarily used in fiber lasers, fiber amplifiers, and other sensitive fiber optic instruments that require high-performance signal reflection.
What does the LC/APC connector indicate?
The APC (Angled Physical Contact) designation indicates that the connector ferrule is polished at an angle to minimize back-reflection.
Can I use this for standard network patching?
While technically a patch cable, it is specifically configured with a mirror end-face for instrumentation and testing rather than standard data transmission between transceivers.
What is the length of this assembly?
This cable assembly is 1 meter in length.
Is this cable compatible with SC connectors?
No, this model uses an LC connector. For SC configurations, please refer to the specific SC/APC or SC/UPC models.
