ARIA Technologies offers a complete line of simplex and duplex jumpers in singlemode and multimode configurations with Corning and Prysmian/Draka fiber.
All jumpers are manufactured to meet or exceed Telcordia GR326-CORE Issue 4 specifications.
They are tested for proper endface clarity, insertion loss, return loss, and endface geometry to ensure peak optical performance.
ARIA patch cords are available in a variety of fiber types, jacket sizes, flame/smoke ratings, and connector types.

Endface Clarity, Insertion & Return Loss Testing
Endface Clarity is the cleanliness and smoothness of the connector endface
Insertion Loss refers to the amount of optical power lost through a jumper
Return Loss refers to the optical power reflected at the connector toward the source
Endface Geometry Testing
Radius of curvature is the roundness of the ferrule’s endface
Fiber height is the height or depth that the fiber core protrudes or undercuts the ferrule endface
Apex offset is the distance between the highest point of the polished ferrule’s endface and the fiber’s axis
Testing Requirements

Insertion Loss (dB) | 0.20 Maximum, <0.15 Typical |
MPO Insertion Loss (dB) | 0.75 (Singlemode), 0.60 (Multimode), 0.35 (Elite) |
Return Loss (dB) | <-55 (UPC Connectors), <-65 (APC) |
Radius of Curvature (mm) | 7 to 25 (UPC and MM Connectors), 5 to 12 (APC) |
Fiber Height (nm) | ±50 (UPC and MM Connectors), ±100 (APC) |
Apex Offset (µm) | <50 |
