Nextrom Helium Recovery System (NHR)
Cost saving during the production When manufacturing optical fibres for
fibre cooling system. Optical fibre production is influenced by the reduction of global natural gas reserves, such as helium and its increased use in industry. Helium is used in cooling systems to improve the transfer of heat from the surface of the optical fibre to the cooling system. The use of helium-based cooling processes has been growing rapidly in recent years. This is reflected in the price of helium. The price for helium has increased in times. This rise in the cost of helium has an impact on the cost of fibre production, as helium consumption increases in line with
telecommunications use, the critical factors for success are draw speed, yield, the quality of the fibre, and its optical characteristics. Telecoms optical fibres are usually produced in large quantities and as efficiently as possible. Nextrom has developed a system for fibre draw, where the helium gas released from the cooling system can be collected and cleaned for re-use in the very same
production speed. The system can provide a recycled helium recovery rate of 90%. Return on investments depends on nominal helium consumption and
the price of helium. For more information, visit http:// www.rosendahlnextrom.com/fibre- optics/
Suncall’s new MPO products provide versatility and safety
Suncall America’s New MPO Multi-Function Connector makes installations simpler, and the Internal Shutter Adapters provide extra protection and safety for front-of-rack usage. The new MPO Multi-Function Connector offers the ultimate versatility and was designed to simplify field installations. It offers an easy push-pull operation with a reinforced boot for insertion and extraction. Polarity change and gender switching are now easier than ever. Simply change the polarity with a quick slide of the finger tab, NO tools required. The gender switch has been simplified as well allowing field operations to easily change the gender utilising a Suncall jig without having to remove the housing. The new MPO Multi-Function Connector is available in a variety of housing colours.
The new MPO Internal Shutter (IS) Adapters were designed for front of rack usage. The internal shutters provide maximum protection from lasers, dust and other debris while protecting the ferrule. The shutters automatically open as the connector is inserted while safely protecting against laser exposure
and never touches the delicate ferrule. The MPO IS adapters have an SC footprint and are available in simplex and duplex styles, in two key combinations (key up/key down or key up/key up), have snap-in side latches with reduced flange, are designed for high-density packaging and are available in a
variety of housing colours. To see other new products and to learn more, visit Suncall America at OFC 2020 Booth #4425 or at suncallamerica.com.
