Angled Connector Specifications

Specifications and Regulatory Information
Angled Connector Specifications
Specifications require an angled connector at the source output and at
optical input ports 1 and 2 of the optical receiver.
Angled contact connectors help you to control return loss. With angled
fiber endfaces, reflected light tends to reflect into the cladding, reducing
the amount of light that reflects back to the source.
The contact connector on your TLS is angled, you can only use a cable with
angled connectors to connect to the TLS input on the ODA. The ODA TLS
input requires angled connectors. Do not use a cable with a flat connector
on either the angled ODA TLS input connector or on the angled TLS output
connector.
The angled connector symbol is typically 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.
