Angled contact connectors help you to control return loss, since reflected
light tends to reflect into the cladding, reducing the amount of light that
reflects back to the source.
Figure 5
Angled and Straight Contact Connector Symbols
on page -17 shows the symbols that tell you whether the contact
connector of your Tunable Laser module is angled or straight. The angled
contact connector symbol is colored green.
You should connect straight contact fiber end connectors with neutral
sleeves to straight contact connectors and connect angled contact fiber
end connectors with green sleeves to angled contact connectors.
For further details on connector interfaces and accessories, refer to the
81960A User’s Guide.
CAUTION
With the angled contact connectors on your instrument, you can only use
cables with angled connectors.
