Description
Grade B patch cord connector is the patchcord with the random mating performance of Grade B as IEC-61753-1 defined, more than 97% of maximum 0.25dB random mated with each other and the average is less than 0.12dB. Simplex, duplex grade B patchcord is well fabricated and all grade B connectors (including LC, MU, SC, FC, etc.) are compliant to IEC-61754, end face geometry is superior to IEC-61755.
