Page 77 L-com Intros New MPO Fiber Products


North Andover, MA — L-com Global Connectivity, a designer and manufacturer of wired and wireless connectivity products, has introduced three new MPO fiber products: a 40gig rated cable, a coupler for cross wiring and a dry cloth cleaner. As data center bandwidth requirements con-


tinue to grow, Multifiber Push-On (MPO) technol- ogy has become the default cabling solution and these new products will give customers more dependability in their application. The L-com multi-fiber round cables deliver


advantages that far outweigh their size by offering up to 12 times the density of an SC connector of the same size. This product uses four channels of the MPO connector to receive and four to transmit. Each channel is 10gig rated using OM3 cable. With a push-pull design for easy mating and removal, significant installation time can be saved. The new MPO fiber optic cou-


pler provides a fast and easy way to connect one male MPO cable (with alignment pins) to one female MPO cable (without alignment pins). By


NKK: 3D CAD Switch Library and Configurator


Scottsdale, AZ — An enhanced user experience for engineers is the goal of the direct migration of the 3D CADE- NAS PARTsolutions switch library and configurator directly to NKK's website www.nkkswitches.com. As part of NKK's online switch


library and configurator, the upgrade places the 3D configurator directly on product pages to give the most up- to-date information and a stream- lined customer experience. The upgrade also allows users to stay on NKK's website, enabling engineers to easily navigate, discover and down- load the information they need to make the design decisions that give them a competitive edge. Since 2009, NKK has been sys-


tematically expanding its online 3D switch library and configurator to include a full range of the company's product lines. Design engineers use 3D models to improve design produc- tivity and reduce the time needed to redraw standard parts. Approx - imately 90 percent of the company's product lines are available as 3D models in the catalog. CAD files for remaining products will be made available upon request. 3D CAD models are available in


a variety of popular CAD file formats including Catia, I-DEAS, Inventor, Pro/Engineer, SolidWorks, and Uni - graphics, as well as universal file for- mats such as STEP, IGES, and SAT and others. The 3D switch library and con-


figurator may be accessed on the NKK website, the Autodesk® Sup - plier Content Center, Machine De - sign Magazine CAD library, and other online libraries. NKK products will also be available within PART - solutions 3D Part Catalog Manage - ment solutions, allowing NKK to introduce its products to new prospects worldwide independent of the CAD technology they may be


using. Contact: NKK Switches, 7850

joining two cables and cross wiring them, this cou- pler allows users to quickly and easily change a


cable from straight to crossed or vice versa without having to buy a new cable. Steel mounting clips allow for easy snap-in installation. Cleaning fiber optic connectors is also critical


to delivering a reliable network installation. The SENKO fiber optic cleaner is a dry cloth cleaner that is specially designed to clean MPO fiber con- nectors. The dust cap of the cleaner acts as an adapter for cleaning unmated connectors and it is estimated that this helpful tool can clean over 600 connectors and/or ports before requiring replace- ment. This cleaner is simple, easy to use, and high- ly effective at removing oil and dust contaminants


that can inhibit optical performance. Contact: L-com Global Connectivity,
