MDE725A-nnn Fibre to Fibre Alignment Vee Block

	Part No. MDE725A-nnn	Quick and easy mechanical coupling of two bare fibres without splicing  Can be used with index matching gel to minimize coupling loss

“BUTT-MAN” is designed to allow two bare fibres to be coupled quickly and easily without the need for splicing in applications such as OTDR testing. Typical losses are 0.8dB (0.3dB best). Each fibre is initially 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.
