March 26, 2009 – Sunnyvale, CA – Finisar Corporation, Opnext, Inc. and Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd./Excelight Communications, Inc. announced recently that they have entered into a Multi-Source Agreement (MSA). The purpose of the CFP MSA is to define a hot-pluggable optical transceiver form factor to enable 40Gb/s and 100Gb/s applications, including next-generation High Speed Ethernet [...]
The FK12 Angled Fiber Cleaver sets the standard for low reflectance fiber termination of better than -60 dB. Fast and repeatable cleaving of fiber ends at user-selectable cleave angles (0 degrees to 15 degrees) make it possible for installers to reduce the reflectance of mechanical splices and other fiber terminations without the use of index-matching gels. The FK12 is the tool of choice when quick fiber termination and low return loss are required for minimum cost.
The Sumitomo FCP-22L is a precision fiber cleaver which can accomodate 250um and 900um coatings. The FCP-22L is very versatile as it can be used to cleave single fibers as well as ribbon fibers.
SAN DIEGO – March 24, 2009 – Vitesse Semiconductor Corporation (Pink Sheets: VTSS) continues to increase its presence in the rapidly expanding Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) and Fiber-to-the-Building (FTTB) markets by establishing a network of leading technology companies to collectively address and advance development of next-generation, end-to-end, passive optical networking (PON) systems. The members of the FTTx [...]
SAN DIEGO, March 26, 2009 – A number of new optical communication technologies and capabilities, particularly those for 40 Gb/s and 100 Gb/s optical links, were unveiled by companies such as Finisar, JDSU, NeoPhotonics, Bookham and Agilent Technologies this week during the 2009 Optical Fiber Communication Conference and Exposition and the National Fiber Optic Engineers [...]
Santa Clara, CA – March 13, 2009 – Agilent Technologies Inc. recently introduced the industry’s first time-domain based optical modulation analyzer offering in-depth analysis of amplitude and phase-modulated optical signals.
