Optoscribe OptoArray precision fibre alignment arrays to help reduce losses


www.optoscr ibe.com


Optoscribe has launched OptoArray, its new range of precision fibre alignment structures. Te solutions are designed to help reduce losses in optical circuits through the precise and stable alignment of fibres – important given the demand for increasing levels of high-density optical fibre in a variety of applications. Te company’s high-speed laser-based


manufacturing process provides full 3D flexibility in the paterning of holes and can


create high precision, highly controllable microstructures in glass. In addition, the 3D control provides the


ability to shape the hole entrance creating a funnel or conical taper to allow for easy insertion of the fibres. Holes can also be formed at arbitrary


angles to the surface of the glass, such as the eight degrees typically used for minimising back-reflections.

VeEX adds native OSFP transceiver support to RXT-6400 400GE handheld test set


www.veexinc.com


Now available from VeEX is the second generation RXT-6400 Advanced 400G test set, with native PAM4 support for OSFP and QSFP-DD transceivers. Te module is based on the latest


generation of flexible 58G PAM4-based FPGA technology. Tis native design allows for signal integrity with no adapters required, and allows the test set to continue adapting to evolving 400GE technology. Some key improvements include and OSFP


cage in addition to QSFP-DD; dual ports for 100G and below; OSFP and QSFP-DD case temperature monitor; transceiver power consumption measurement and improved interoperability. Handheld and batery operated, the


RXT-6400 reduces testing time at large data centres and aggregation nodes. Mobility and reduced size and weight


are also important to NEMs and transceiver vendors travelling around the globe promoting their new solutions, performing demonstrations, assisting interop tests, benchmarking, troubleshooting, evaluations and supporting their customers.


Fujikura launches 90S core alignment fusion splicer www.fujikura.co.uk


The latest evolution of fusion splicer has been launched by Fujikura with its new 90S. It features a host of new and enhanced features developed to help the user work faster with higher precision. Overall splice process time has been


significantly reduced against the 70S+, thanks to a combination of improvements to the reaction time of the automated wind protectors and automated heater, new fibre retention clamps, improved universal sheath clamps and a redesigned internal structure that matches the protection sleeve position to the fusion splice point, which enables splicing to be achieved without the need of the user to touch the 90S once the process has started.


www.fibre-systems.com @fibresystemsmag This improvement in speed has been


achieved while also improving the precision of the 90S, utilising cutting-edge true core alignment technology, combined with advanced image processing to ensure the most precise and repeatable splice ever. The 90S builds on Fujikura’s Active


Blade Management Technology, allowing two CT50 cleavers to be connected simultaneously. This allows wireless connecting of the splicer to the optical fibre cleaver. By continually monitoring the cleaver


performance and automatically prompting the user at the optimum point to rotate the blade, the total cost of ownership will be dramatically reduced.
