Specifications require an angled connector at the optical
interface.
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 distributed temperature system is
an E2000 APC angled, you can only use a cable with angled
connectors. Never connect a straight connector directly to an
angled connector.
