- AC Photonics
AC Photonics fibre pigtails feature low insertion loss, low back reflection and are extremely stable in challenging environments.
Multi-fibre pigtails are available as dual, triple, or quadruple types with several choices of packaging style to meet specific installation specifications or can be customised according to requirements.
Typical applications for fibre pigtails include collimator assemblies, WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) systems, optical switches, circulator/hybrid components, or use in the laboratory.
Fibre type can be 250 µm bare fibre, 900 µm tight buffer, or 250 µm bare fibre with protective loose tube.
