MDE725A-nnn - Fibre to Fibre Alignment V-Block

Fibre to Fibre Alignment V-Block   

MDE725A-nnn   

• Can be used with index matching gel to minimise coupling loss
• Quick and easy mechanical coupling of two bare fibres without splicing

The MDE725A is designed to allow two bare fibres (US: fibers) to be coupled quickly and easily without the need for splicing in applications such as OTDR testing. Typical losses are 0.8 dB (0.3 dB best).

Each fibre is gripped in the outer thumb-loaded clamps. The left hand clamp moves smoothly along the X-axis moving the fibre along the V-groove into contact with the fixed fibre. This movement can be clamped if required. Index matching gel can be used in the V-groove to improve the coupling efficiency.
