SFC3- Circulator

The OPTOKON SFC3 polarization-insensitive fiber optic circulator is a compact, high-performance light wave component that routes incoming signals from Port 1 to Port 2, and incoming Port 2 signals to Port 3. This component provides high isolation, very low insertion loss, low polarization dependent loss (PDL), low polarization mode dispersion (PMD), and excellent environmental stability.

  • Very low insertion loss
  • Broadband
  • Low wavelength dependent loss
  • Low temperature dependent loss
  • High-power handling capability and reliability
  • High isolation
  • Compact cylindrical package
  • Excellent environment stability
