Optical fiber is sensitive to stress, particulary bending stress. When overstressed, light in the outer part of the core is no longer guided in the fiber core creating a higher loss at the stressed section of the fiber. PCT’s bend insensitive fiber patch cords (BIFPC) are constructed with Corning® LBL glass for greater performance by preventing as much bending loss as possible. The cords are available with SC and LC connectors in a variety of polishes and standard lengths of up to 30 meters.
