Polarization maintaining cables are manufactured with a special fiber which maintains the polarization of light waves. By reducing the losses associated with the polarization of light, the transmission rate can reach 40 Gbps or more. They are available in patchcords, pigtails, custom assemblies or through our connector installation service. They are all manufactured according to your specifications, from a diagram, sketch or production drawing.
