Master Patchcord

Master Patchcord

We offer an extensive range of pre-terminated cable assemblies that are 100% tested to ensure conformance with your specifications.  These assemblies are used for measuring and manufacturing of fiber optic components and optical network testing. The Master patchcord is equipped with a Master connector according to the specifications below. The master connector is specified with its Serial Number on connector body, which ensures traceability of transmission and geometrical parameters. The second connector is a standard type. For the hybrid patchcord version different types of master and standard connector types are also available.
