Hermetic feedthroughs launched for extreme environments
www.sedi-ati.com
SEDI-ATI’s solution for passing optical fibres through customised, complex or extreme environments is a range of hermetic fibre-optic feedthroughs and patch cords, standard and custom-made. Hermetic fibre optic
feedthroughs allow for easy delivery of optical signals through a physical barrier, such as the panel of a chamber, the purpose of which is to isolate an environment from another environment and to prevent any leakage from one side of the barrier to the other side. Two places where a feedthrough must maintain a seal are at the barrier itself, and at the hole where a fibre is passing through. Not maintaining a tight and
hermetic seal in those two areas can result in a critical system failure. In order to provide a world-leading hermeticity, seals are maintained with an internal fiber rod, identical to the fibre used upstream and downstream, as well as a quality flange and gasket system. By using the new feedthroughs
hermeticity can be achieved in various hostile environments, for example, one side can be high-pressure (up to 1000 bars) while the other side can be high vacuum. Additionally, the temperature on both sides can be either extremely elevated (+600°C) or extremely cold (0.5K); and either side can be extremely corrosive or/and radiative. Depending on the application,
the design of a feedthrough can be significantly different. So, single or multi-fibre feedthrough; fixed or reconfigurable; bulkhead or inline. Particular atention must be devoted to both the choice of materials and the choice of the sealing technology: epoxy, glass- soldering or brazing.
Pro Optix has launched two new series of wavelength division multiplexers (WDM) called the Pro Mini high-density series and the Pro Nano ultra-high-density series. Te Pro Mini modular multiplexer series uses LC connectivity and can
have up to 54 CWDM channels or 48 DWDM channels within 1U. Te modular and fixed Pro Nano multiplexer series uses CS
connectivity and can have up to 108 CWDM channels or 120 DWDM channels. Within 1U, the user can mix both modular cassetes and CWDM and DWDM, delivering a flexible and scalable solution that can be installed and upgraded with quick-swap ability, and being passive requires no power. For smaller installations in branch offices both series can be wall mounted.
Precision OT’s GPON transceivers to make telcos’ lives easier

OptoTest releases compact IL and RL test system
www.optotest.com
Te new OptoTest OP940-CSW insertion loss (IL) and return loss (RL) test system features the speed and accuracy of the switched OP940 in a new form factor that improves the test process. Te OP940-CSW is an internally switched IL and RL meter, available
in both 12- and 24- fibre variants, designed for MPO/MTP testing. Te front panel design of the benchtop system eliminates the need for fanout cables, which drive up costs and setup time. Having a single connector on the front panel makes multi-fibre testing a cleaner, more efficient process. Te new form factor for multichannel testing, scaled down from a rackmount size, was achieved while maintaining the high-performance standards set by our existing range of IL and RL meters. Te OP940-CSW is compatible with a host of OptoTest soſtware
including OPL-CLX and OPL- Max. DLLs are also available for those wishing to create custom programs. Pair the OP940-CSW with existing products like the OP415 Polarity Analyzer and OPL-CLX Soſtware Suite to create the ultimate MPO/MTP testing solution.

will support service providers as they continue working to deliver next generation access services to bandwidth-hungry subscribers. All of Precision OT’s GPON optics are bidirectional, support
transmission distances between 20km and 40km and are resilient for both commercial and industrial temperatures. Designed and tested to the same standards as all of the company’s other equipment, this line of GPON optics and multiplexer/ demultiplexer filter model aims to make it easier for customers to evolve their access networks on an ongoing basis.
AFL ribbonising tool goes glue-free
www.AFLglobal.com
AFL’s latest ribbonising tool, the RT-02, features a glue-less process for ribbonising and splicing 12-fibre ribbons. Te tool saves time and money by eliminating inefficiencies such as cure time and contamination of splicing equipment. Te ribboniser is suitable
for 200µm and 250µm loose fibres, 200µm and 250µm MPO termination, and mass fusion splicing loose fibre cables. Loading
in order of the colour code sequence is not required as with many traditional ribbonising tools. Fibres can be inserted at will and load directly into the holder aſter inserting all 12. AFL offers a complete fusion
splicing solution that includes field and speciality fusion splicers plus accessories. It also operates the authorised repair facility for Fujikura splicing products in the U.S.
