SHOW PREVIEW ECOC 2013


FCI Electronics Among the products that FCI will be exhibiting at ECOC is the world’s first External Mini-SAS HD Active Optical Cable (AOC),


which completes its extensive cabling solution portfolio for the Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) enterprise storage protocol. Te External Mini-SAS HD AOC uses fibre optic cable to extend the reach of four lanes of 12Gb/s SAS up to 100m. Links of this distance make connections that are not possible with traditional copper cable, which allows for more flexible storage network installations and build out options. Storage no longer needs to be co-located with the server and could even be placed in a secure safe. Te fibre optic cable is more flexible and narrow


than copper cables, which allows for more installation options and better cooling airflow. FCI’s SAS portfolio also includes internal and external copper cables, board connectors, cages, heat syncs, light pipes, EMI gaskets, and drive connectors for 12Gb/s SAS and beyond. www.fci.com


Finisar Finisar is the world’s largest supplier of optical communication components and subsystems. For 25 years, it has provided critical breakthroughs in optics technologies and supplied system manufacturers with the production volumes needed to meet the expanding demand for network bandwidth. Its vertically integrated business model is suited for delivering high volumes while providing access to critical technologies required to develop the next generation of products. Finisar’s product portfolio includes transceivers/transponders, active cables, wavelength selective switches (WSS), ROADM line cards, optical instruments, RF-over-fibre, amplifiers, and active and passive components. www.finisar.com


FTTH Council Europe Te FTTH Council Europe is an industry organisation with a mission to accelerate the availability of fibre-based, ultra-high-speed access networks to consumers and businesses. Te Council promotes this technology because it will deliver a flow of new services that enhance the quality of life, contribute to a better environment and increase economic competitiveness. Te FTTH Council Europe consists of more than 150 member companies. Meet representatives at ECOC in the FTTx Centre and in the Market Focus conference room at 10:50am on 23 September.

Fujikura Fujikura will launch two new fusion splicers at ECOC. Alongside its full range of hardware for networking the


latest 19S and 19R will be exhibited for the first time. Te 19S has been developed to be a lower cost alternative to the bestselling 70S fusion splicer which was launched earlier this year, featuring a shrink time of 14 seconds. Te 19R is a four-fibre ribbon fusion splicer benefiting from a new design that streamlines the steps required to complete splices – resulting in greater productivity, the company says. www.fujikura.co.uk


j-fiber j-fiber is a global supplier of high-performance optical fibres, preforms, and fibre processing systems. It serves advanced


LAN and data centre cabling with bend- insensitive and standard multimode fibres for serial 10Gb/s Ethernet data transmission networks as well as for up to 100Gb/s parallel transmission solutions. With j-BendAble OM4/ OM3/OM2+/OM2 j-fiber says it offers a superior bend-insensitive multimode fibre that performs reliably in tight bending installations. j-BendAble


throughs and modulators. It will also be exhibiting its Photline modulators, with information on its carrier suppressed single sideband modulation, pulse generation/ pulse picking and Lidar products. www.lasercomponents.co.uk


fibres feature lowest attenuation loss at smallest bend-radii and minimum splice-loss. Splice tests could prove j-BendAble’s compatibility with all available 50µm BIMMF and non-BIMMF optical fibres. With OptiGrade and GigaGrade fibre product lines, j-fiber also provides the complete range of non-BIMMF 50µm and 62.5µm multimode fibres for standard compliant reliable Gigabit Ethernet transmission. j-fiber is member of the Leoni Group, a large global supplier of wires and cables and wiring systems. www.j-fiber.com


JDSU Te latest from JDSU, which enables optical networks and 100G technology, will be on display at ECOC 2013. JDSU is introducing a second- generation CFP2 test solution that meets 100G and beyond deployment challenges with applications covering the whole 100G ecosystem from ICs testing and transponders through to 100/400G linecards and service turn-up. JDSU will provide updates on its optical spectrum analyser (OSA) for flexible-grid wavelength division multiplexor (WDM) networks and
