sent mostly towards the cladding and not the core and therefore. Indeed. I have always held the idea that APC connectors induced greater chromatic and/or polarization mode dispersion -- yet can't find any resources that claim so, nor does that fit in with my working mental model of how light propagates. Just something I picked up during the hellish days of trying to deploy 10GbE before it was cool; now I'd like to know if it is grounded in any science (-:
Thanks aaron
Just tossing this in here. I don't claim to know either way. On the current project I'm working on all of the panels are LC-APC. This seems to have not been a problem for our DWDM vendor, who we have been working very closely with, and I assume know about our use of APC. So far our PMD testing has come back clear.
