Photon Kinetics launches next- generation multi-fibre aligner for higher volume cable testing
Photon Kinetics’ next-generation automated multi-fibre handler, the 1050C Cable Aligner, follows the firm’s established 1001-MFH multi-fibre handler, which is a key component of its OASYS OTDR automation system. The 1001-MFH features high-speed, mass fibre preparation and automated coupling of a cable’s fibres to an OTDR buffer fibre. Combined with OASYS OTDR automation software and high performance, production- optimised OTDRs, the firm says the 1001- MFH has maximised test station throughput and minimised testing cost for many of the largest optical fibre cable manufacturers. Like its predecessor, the 1050C takes advantage of mass fibre preparation tools and cassette loading of multiple ribbon or loose tube fibre holders to speed the aligner loading process. Then reliable video profile alignment and automated index matching oil application couples each fibre to the OTDR with low optical loss and reflectance. Other capabilities include the ability to align conventional 250μm, as well as ‘high density’ 200μm coated fibres.

Panduit launches fibre optic cassettes for universal systems
Panduit Europe has launched a new range of fibre optic cassettes with universal polarity, thereby eliminating the need to deploy different cassettes or patch cords to maintain proper transmit-to-receiver continuity throughout a system.
MACOM L-PIC-enabled solutions for CWDM4 to drive cloud data centres and 5G optical connectivity
MACOM has introduced the MAOT-025402 CWDM4 transmitter optical sub-assembly as a part of its laser-integrated silicon photonic integrated circuit (L-PIC) solution for 100Gb/s CWDM4. The MAOT-025402 is designed to mate with the MASC-37053A CDR to form the complete high-speed
ADVA brings secure zero touch provisioning to network edge device range
ADVA’s FSP 150 ProNID range of network edge devices now features zero touch provisioning. By removing the need for manual intervention
in the provisioning, testing and activation of demarcation equipment, the company says it is dramatically simplifying how communications service providers configure the network edge. Zero touch provisioning is designed to avoid the expense and effort caused by human error,

The internal wiring of universal cassettes allows for use of a single cassette and patch cord on each end of a traditional cassette-trunk- cassette link. The cassettes are available in the HD Flex system, QuickNet MTP system, and QuickNet SFQ Series MTP system, enabling deployment in various applications.

transmit path for QSFP28 CWDM4 solutions. As the growth of data traffic and demand forces cloud data centres to scale capabilities quickly, this allows for the transition from 100Gb/s to 400Gb/s and from 4G to 5G with a highly integrated interconnect chipset solution for CWDM4, scalable to FR4 and FR1/ DR1 applications. Core to the MAOT-025402 is the MAOP-L284CN L-PIC device, which integrates four high-performance 25Gb/s CWDM
wavelengths in a single silicon photonic integrated circuit (PIC) to communicate 100Gb/s over duplex single mode fibre. The company’s L-PIC platform provides a highly integrated silicon photonic solution targeting specific data centre applications that includes four CW lasers, monitor photodiodes, high bandwidth waveguides, modulators and multiplexers. Using its patented self-aligning etched facet technology for precision attachment of the lasers to the silicon chip,
MACOM’s L-PIC platform negates the need for active laser alignment and the company says it creates significant cost reductions to the customer, enabling mainstream deployment.

while improving scalability. The technology also uses proven cryptographic methods to safely authenticate devices and ensure the integrity of software and configuration data.
Automated device configuration and service
provisioning is already supported by the company’s high-performance NFVI software solution Ensemble Connector, and now it’s being applied to a wider portfolio, enabling a consistent approach to automated service activation with edge compute nodes, as well as simple service demarcation devices. All customers need to
do is connect the edge device to the network. It then authenticates itself and establishes a secure connection to a server holding the latest firmware and configuration data. The firmware and software patches are then installed and, in the case of edge compute nodes, the new services are downloaded, instantiated and taken live. The new capabilities are closely aligned with IETF ZTP and Call Home specifications, building on widely accepted NETCONF protocol and YANG device modelling languages.
