Clean room production of cable assemblies: A move towards a higher-bandwidth World
10, 40, 100? Someone somewhere is going for higher and higher bandwidth. The possibilities these very high-speed networks offer are huge, however like all consumer services they will be covered by binding quality of service guarantees. One of the implications of this is that network component performance needs to rise to meet the challenge and Kamaxoptic Communication as always is working hard to provide a competitive solution for you to offer your clients. Currentstandardpracticesforthe mass-manufacturing of passive components, especially those such as pigtails and patchcords, need to be brought into line with the demands imposed by
the coming 100Gb regimes. Kamaxoptic Communication is working towards this new, very-high-speed world. We ultrasonically clean the ferrule and pay special attention to cleaning the fibre before insertion. For obvious reasons this has a clear impact on product performance but we are going further. Even slight contamination will occasionally mean that the epoxy is not always in complete contact with the ferrule. Temperature and humidity fluctuations will minutely pull and push the fiber over the life of the product with the risk of causing unpredictable, slight changes in fiber height. To minimize this we have built a clean room production line at our electrical & optical design expertise to offer customers reliable value- added solutions. Our copper and Active Optical Cables, or AOCs, provide optimum link performance, high reliability, inter-operability and ease of installation. Our cable assemblies are designed to meet applicable industry standards (i.e. SFF standards) as well as assure full compliance to various signalling protocols such as InfiniBand, FibreChannel, Ethernet, SAS, SATA, and PCIe standards This year at the 2013 ECOC Exhibition in London, FCI Electronics continues its tradition of introducing the latest optical technologies and developments to the optical design community. Several new technologies offering

cost-effective for customers’ backplane and optical interconnect requirements, will be on display. We will conduct product demonstrations for On-board Optical Transceivers (OBT), which are designed to minimize the amount of PCB real estate required, whilst taking into account ease of application and removal or repair. A fully functional optical backplane, running at 10Gb/s per channel, that allows for multi-channel transmission through a backplane with up to 12 embedded optical waveguides per connector, as well as our latest developments on front panel input/output connector solutions. The optical interface is an FCI internally developed solutions
molded lens based system that allows for an accurate and reliable waveguide interface. We will also showcase our optical interconnect, optical transceiver, opticalcouplers&splittersandSAS connectors. Providing complete, cost-effective solutions that meet telecom, industrial and datacom requirements, our optical product portfolio and cable assembly solutions compliment its broad offering of optical connectors and cable assemblies. So come and visit us at the ECOC 2013 show booth 128 to learn more about our extensive range of optical interconnect solutions.

Fujikura Europe launches lower cost splicing devices at ECOC 2013 – the 19S and 19R
Fujikura will launch two new fusion splicers at this year’s ECOC. Alongside its full range of hardware for networking the latest 19S and 19R will be exhibited for the first time. The
19S has been developed to be a lower cost alternative to the bestselling 70S fusion splicer which was launched earlier this year, featuring a shrink time of only 14 seconds. The 19R is a
four-fibre ribbon fusion splicer benefiting from a new design which streamlines the steps required to complete splices, resulting in greater productivity. Visit Fujikura on Stand 259
