The M31L02 by ThorLabs is a top-of-the-line graded-index (GRIN) patch cable that is perfect for various telecom applications. This state-of-the-art cable is designed with an industry-standard Ø50 µm Core / Ø125 µm cladding GRIN fiber, which is generally categorized by bandwidth as optical multimode (OM) types. The M31L02 boasts a length of 2 meters and a numerical aperture of 0.275.
The M31L02's narrow key FC/PC connectors with ceramic ferrules make it incredibly easy to use and highly reliable. This patch cable offers lower modal dispersion than step-index fiber, making it an excellent choice for telecom applications. It also provides significantly less bend loss than traditional multimode fibers, making it more reliable and less prone to damage. The refractive index gradient between the cladding and core establishes the available bandwidth at a specified wavelength. This allows the M31L02 to deliver outstanding performance and exceptional reliability, even in demanding environments. And to protect the ferrule ends from dust and other hazards, this patch cable is compatible with caps for added protection and longevity.
