This version of the PolaRITE™ manual polarization controller is conveniently pigtailed with or without connectors. It can be spliced to other components with minimal loss, and is ideal for controlling the polarization state of light in any single mode fiber optic system. It is
available in a regular (PLC-002) or miniature (PLC-M02) size for maximum flexibility.

PLC-003/006 is the in-line version of the PolaRITE™ polarization controller. It can be inserted into a fiber optic system to control the polarization state of light without having to disconnect any part of the system. It can be used by simply inserting a length of fiber into the slot located on top of the device. The miniature version can be inserted in even tighter spaces in a fiber optic module.

There is also a fully connectorized polarization controller that comes with either male (PLC-005) or female (PLC-004) connectors, thus eliminating the headaches of fiber pigtails. Customers can use the bulkhead connectors of their choice. Although the unit comes with FC type connectors, it can interface with ST and SC type connectors with industry standard FC/ST or FC/SC adapters.
