Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of the 1.6mm tails?
The 1.6mm tails are ruggedized fiber leads designed to provide increased protection for the fiber strands during cable routing and installation management.
Are the connectors included in the insertion loss?
Yes, the specified 13.8dB maximum insertion loss accounts for all internal components and connector losses.
Can this module be used outdoors?
The module is rated for an operating temperature of -40°C to +85°C, making it suitable for deployment in temperature-controlled outside plant enclosures.
What does the 1x16 configuration signify?
This indicates the module splits a single optical input signal into 16 distinct output signals.
What type of polish is on the connectors?
The module is terminated with SC/APC (Angled Physical Contact) connectors, which are designed to reduce back-reflection in sensitive network applications.
