Fiber & patch cords

Single-mode fiber

IdealPhotonics' single-mode fiber optic patch cord is a standardized optical cable assembly consisting of single-mode fiber (supporting a single transmission mode) connected to both ends by precision connectors (such as LC/SC/FC). It is used to achieve precise connection and transmission of low-loss, high-stability optical signals.Low loss, high bandwidth, and high stability are ensured by the use of precision connectors (such as LC/SC/FC) and optimized endfaces (UPC/APC), guaranteeing efficient and reliable transmission of high-speed optical signals over long distances.
PM single-mode fiber patch cord

IdealPhotonics' polarization-maintaining single-mode fiber patch cord is a type of patch cord constructed from polarization-maintaining fiber (PM fiber) and precision axis-matching connectors (such as FC/SC/LC). By maintaining the stability of the optical signal's polarization state, it meets the high-precision transmission requirements of polarization-sensitive systems (such as coherent communication and fiber optic sensing).Through high birefringence fiber and precision axis-matching connectors (strictly matched fast/slow axes), stable polarization state transmission is achieved, ensuring a high polarization extinction ratio (PER > 20dB). It is specifically designed to provide a reliable optical path for polarization-sensitive systems (such as quantum communication and interferometric sensing).
Custom fiber patch cord

IdealPhotonics' customized fiber optic patch cords are fiber optic connection components flexibly designed and manufactured according to specific application requirements (such as length, connector type, fiber type, and performance specifications). Their core feature is high adaptability, meeting the differentiated needs of industrial, medical, and communication scenarios through personalized configurations (such as bend-resistant/high-temperature resistant materials, special end-face treatments, or armor structures).It embodies "design on demand, flexible adaptation"—by customizing fiber type (single-mode/multimode/polarization-maintaining), connector (material/interface), length, and protection level (such as high-temperature resistant/tensile-resistant armor), it precisely matches the high-performance transmission needs of special scenarios (such as harsh environments in military, medical, or industrial settings).
SM Fiber

IdealPhotonics' single-mode fiber is a type of fiber that allows only a single fundamental mode (LP01) optical signal to transmit. Its core diameter is extremely small (typically 8-10 μm), and through precise refractive index distribution design, it achieves low dispersion, low loss, and long-distance high-speed optical communication.It is a "small core diameter (8-10 μm) single-mode transmission" fiber that achieves ultra-low loss (0.2 dB/km), ultra-wide bandwidth (100 THz+), and ultra-long distance (hundreds of kilometers) optical signal transmission by suppressing higher-order modes, making it a core medium for high-speed communication (5G/backbone networks).
MM Fiber

IdealPhotonics' multimode fiber is a type of fiber with a relatively large core diameter (typically 50/62.5μm), allowing multiple optical transmission modes to pass simultaneously. Its core feature is achieving high-capacity signal transmission over low-cost, short-distance distances (such as 100-meter-level LANs), but its bandwidth is limited by modal dispersion."Large-core diameter (50/62.5μm) multimode transmission" achieves high-capacity signal transmission over low-cost, short-distance (100-meter-level) distances, but its bandwidth is limited by modal dispersion. Typical applications include high-speed, short-distance scenarios such as data centers and LANs.
PM fiber

IdealPhotonics' polarization-maintaining fiber is a specially designed fiber that keeps the polarization state of the input light constant during transmission. Its core purpose is to solve the problem of random polarization state changes caused by environmental disturbances (such as temperature variations, bending, or stress) in ordinary single-mode fibers, making it suitable for polarization-sensitive applications."High birefringence and stable polarization" fiber, through stress zone or geometric design (such as panda/bowtie type), forcibly fixes the polarization direction of the optical signal (extinction ratio > 20dB), and is specifically designed for precision systems sensitive to polarization states, such as interferometric sensing and quantum communication.

Photonic Crystal Fiber

Photonic Crystal Fiber is a novel microstructured optical fiber based on the photonic bandgap effect or an enhanced total internal reflection principle.
