NEW ELiMENT Duplex LC Uniboot connector offers highly engineered process and ease of installation
The ELiMENT Duplex LC Uniboot is the newest addition to the US Conec line of ELiMENT single fibre connectors. Building on the high-performance SC and LC ELiMENT product offering, the ELiMENT Duplex LC Uniboot connector is a low profile, stackable design that provides a user friendly, reliable solution that is optimised for simple factory installation. Tool-less polarity reversal of the ELiMENT Duplex LC Uniboot in the field is effortless. The
design enables simultaneous rotation of both ferrules while keeping bare fibres from being exposed at any time during polarity reversal. Polarity identification on the ELiMENT Duplex LC Uniboot can be easily verified through a visible color-coded polarity window. The low-profile push-pull housing design allows maximum panel density while the direct push-pull latch provides efficient connector insertion and removal. An optional push-pull tab can be added to deliver ultimate ease of access even in highly congested panels and
racks. US Conec’s cable assembly process for the ELiMENT Duplex LC Uniboot with use of novel moulded fixtures simplifies handling and yield issues associated with typical Uniboot designs. Pre-assembly of the Duplex LC connector ferrules prior to epoxy curing improves throughput and eliminates accidental fibre breaks. Offered in a variety of colours for multimode, single-mode, and APC applications, the ELiMENT Duplex LC Uniboot is currently available for use with 2.0mm and 3.0mm OD cables. The Parallex test system allows the user to select which function to purchase, be it Jitter-only (DJ and RJ) module, Clock source with or without sine jitter or just a pattern generator or error detector. The jitter and VEC
LUCEO offers affordable compliant stress testing systems
IEEE requires stress testing for 100G and 400G optical components. The setup is well defined in the standard but it turns out that providing IEEE compliant stress conditions are an expensive matter. Equipment cost can easily rise up to US$500,000 US$1 million - and that only covers one channel. Some manufacturers aim to avoid these costs and deliver products that do not meet the IEEE requirements, but this results in a worse market position and lower sales numbers. Furthermore, time consuming calibration has to be performed multiple times per day and in production lines these
modules can even be used with any existing BERT that meets the clocking requirements, and, no need to perform the time- consuming calibration every time the device is used, because the Parallex system is calibrated in the factory. Other functions such as optical power meter, optical attenuator, clock dividers, clock
periods without product output hurt. So, with an affordable cost stress test system the manufacturer can provide compliant products and therefore getting better market share.
recovery optical switches and more can be added as well, meaning it’s possible to have a complete set of functions in one mainframe.
Deviser’s new diagnostic solution is designed for data centres Deviser’s new AE3100EM is designed specifically for verifying optical fibres in high-capacity data centres. the interpretation process of complex OTDR traces. The
has a 7” touchscreen for viewing the smallest details in the OTDR trace. The AE3100EM is also designed for measuring short distances, which is well suited to the large number of short-distance fibres employed in data centres. This lightweight, durable meter also comes with Deviser’s FiberPath intelligent fibre analysis software, enabling technicians to find faults quickly and accurately by simplifying
Deviser AE3100 streamlines both verification and troubleshooting, significantly reducing CAPEX and OPEX.
The AE3100EM combines a fibre inspection scope, visual fault locator, optical power meter and OTDR in one unit, making it the only tool required for testing fibre in the data centres. This handheld unit can be configured with both single mode and multi-mode options, and
