II-VI introduces POLS Platform for 400ZR Ecosystem at OFC
www.ii-vi.com
Component, module, and subsystem vendor, II‐VI introduced a new pluggable optical line subsystem (POLS) platorm on its booth at OFC. Te platorm is designed to enable the emerging
400ZR coherent transceiver ecosystem for next- generation data centre interconnects (DCIs). Te backdrop to the launch is the rapid growth
of cloud computing, which is driving the upgrade cycle from 100G to 400G transmission in DCIs, spurring the demand for optical line systems that are more compact, power-efficient, and easier to install, configure, and operate. Te company’s initial product from the POLS
platorm is the OSFP-LS, designed in the compact OSFP form factor, that plugs directly into a DCI switch port and enables full-duplex multi- channel 400ZR transport, including multiplexing, demultiplexing, and variable-gain amplification. Te OSFP-LS supports up to eight DWDM wavelengths, or 3.2Tb/s per fibre pair.
Go!Foton platform launched to enable intelligent network management
www.gofoton.com
Component and connectivity solution provider, Go!Foton launched a new platorm for AI-capable intelligent management of optical networks at the OFC Conference and Exhibition. Incorporating several of the company’s key
innovations such as the patented Peacoc spreadable adapter technology and newly developed on-axial ferrule engagement-sensing mechanisms, the platorm – EKO – is designed to provide a comprehensive re-imagining of network architecture to help wireless and wireline operators satisfy increasing performance standards while addressing the densification challenge. Among its benefits, EKO offers total fibre visibility
at the most fundamental layers 0/1 of the physical network infrastructure, as well as continuous monitoring of optical power levels with real-time exception alerts. EKO also supports environment- related surveillance enabled by its integrated and non-intrusive out-of-band fibre line quality testing and reporting capability. Te company is currently undergoing field trials and expects to begin shipping in early summer.

Fujikura launches 90R mass fusion splicers to help manage lock-down network surge
www.fusionsplicer.fujikura.com
Fujikura Europe has launched a range of 90R mass fusion splicers designed to significantly reduce overall working time for engineers. Te move comes as telecoms companies across Europe take unprecedented steps to protect networks experiencing significantly higher demand as a result of mass home- working.
Te 90R series consists of three separate
models: 90R4, to splice up to four fibre ribbon cables simultaneously; the 90R12, which can splice up to 12; and 90R16 for up to 16.
Te new V-groove assembly can be quickly
and easily fited in the field, minimising downtime and maximising productivity at a
Luna high-res reflectometer raises support for field maintenance
www.lunainc.com
Luna Innovations demonstrated its new, high resolution, portable reflectometer at OFC. Te Optical Backscater Reflectometer
(OBR) 6200 series performs advanced inspection and diagnostics of fibre optic assemblies and networks. Luna’s existing OBR technology provides
design, diagnostic and inspection capabilities to fibre-optic manufacturers, developers and installers by illustrating a map, in ultra-high resolution, of an optical link. OBR 6200 Series instruments are rugged,
hand-held reflectometers with ultra-high sensitivity for testing and troubleshooting short fibre optic networks up to 100m in length. Tis new product is designed to bring enhanced diagnostic capabilities to the installation and maintenance of data centre networks and industrial manufacturing applications. Visitors to the recent OFC conference and exhibition were able to enjoy live demonstrations of the technology in action. It was initially developed for field support

time when maintaining the network is more important than ever. It also enables splicing of both 250um and 200um pitch fibers and is fully compatible with single fibres, standard encapsulated ribbons as well as Spider Web Ribbon types. Faster working time has been achieved
through a combination of improvements which as well as the replaceable v-grooves includes improved reaction time of the automated wind protectors and automated heater. Te 5-inch LCD touch screen, which enables engineers to make use of Fujikura’s Active Blade Management Technology, can now also connect to two CT50 cleavers simultaneously.
and maintenance of fibre optic links on board advanced aircraſt, such as the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. Because of this, ruggedness and ease of use were designed-in. Integrating a touch screen interface with ‘go/no-go’ data and qualification to strict military operational and environmental standards, the OBR 6200 simplifies analysis and maintenance of fibre optic links and is deployable in a multitude of environments. Ideal for use in the field for service and
maintenance applications, the units are ruggedised with IP65 (water-resistant and dustproof) and MIL-STD certifications, and their fast acquisition rate reduces susceptibility to vibration. Te portable units also have an easily chargeable Li-Ion batery and work with single- and multimode fibre installations.
