AVAILABILITY Please contact your SSR for lead time. Cross-Section of PANDA(R) Fiber CORE X CLADDING Y STRESS RODS AFL delivers SC and FC style jumpers with the optical polarization control of PANDA(R) fiber. Advances in telecommunications technology have lead to a demand for polarization control in optical signal processing. Increases in transmission speed to OC-192 and beyond require external modulators that commonly utilize anisotropic materials, such as lithium niobate. These materials are sensitive to the polarization state of incoming optical signals as effective modulation is only achieved by modulation on one birefringent axis. Fujikura PANDA(R) fiber is recognized worldwide as the industry standard for polarization maintaining applications. Click Here for complete technical specifications and part number information.
