As new fiber optic connectors have entered the industry, Amphenol has carefully selected the most robust and reliable connectors to participate in their design and development. Our in depth understanding of connector design, and the complete control of connector materials, make Amphenol cable assemblies one of the Single Mode Cables: Page 3 best in the industry. Product Breadth Amphenol offers a comprehensive line of single mode and multimode cable assemblies in a variety of cable configurations with SC, FC, LX.5 *, LC, ST , SMA, MT-RJ, and MTP (MPO) type connectors. Both standard and custom assemblies are available for a wide variety of applications. From simplex jumpers to multi-fiber drop cables to ribbon breakouts to optical fabric assemblies, Amphenol can design and supply all of your cable Multimode Cables: Page 4 assembly needs. Consistent Quality High quality polishing processes have been developed to meet and exceed industry standards specifications for insertion loss, return loss, and endface geometry. Attention to process control ensures high-yield processes and consistent quality. Additionally, all assemblies are designed to intermateability standards for optical and physical performance Duplex Cables: Page 5 criteria, as dictated by EIA/TIA, IEC, JIS, NTT, ANSI, and Telcordia (where applicable). Complete Testing Performance testing is one of Amphenols fundamental strengths. Connector and cable materials are extensively inspected prior to assembly. Every cable receives 100% inspection for both insertion loss and visual defects (under 1200X video magnification). Interferometers are used for accurate endface geometry testing.
