Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary use for this mirror patch cord?
It is commonly used for testing, fiber lasers, and polarization-maintaining fiber amplifiers where a controlled signal reflection is required.
Does this cable use SC/UPC or SC/APC?
The TJ-B88-MIRROR uses an SC/APC (Angled Physical Contact) connector.
What is the length of this patch cord?
This cable is 1 meter in length.
Can this be used for standard network patching?
While technically possible, it is designed primarily for specialized fiber instrumentation and testing applications rather than general-purpose network traffic.
What does the mirror component do?
The integrated mirror allows for signal reflection at the end of the fiber, essential for specific test procedures and laser system operation.
