Egide 100G to 400G Packages
Emtelle launches QWKconnect
Emtelle has announced the launch of its innovative and instantaneous QWKconnect, the connectorised fibre bundle for FTTH that o ers product and installation cost savings of over €160 per home, and a reduction in installation equipment of €12,000 per two man team. QWKconnect is pre-installed into the Emtelle QWKdrop microduct at the manufacturing process, meaning that the microducts from 5mm OD can be installed between the cabinet/POP/Splice enclosure
and the homes with the QWKconnect fibre already installed, eliminating blowing costs and splicing costs for the operator. QWKconnect also gives a futureproof, dedicated pathway to each home for many years to come. No product on the market oers a solution like this with such savings for a directly buried or ducted FTTH drop solution in a time when quality needs to be simple and reliable. Emtelle is exhibiting at FTTH Conference 2017. Stand number G11.
Egide has introduce a new series of packages dedicated to 100Gb/s and 400Gb/s applications. The family of TOSA and ROSA products are compliant with OIF and CFP standards. RF performance of the ceramic transitions is above 40 GHz and ideal for current 100G use, whilst providing opportunity for 200G and 400G transceivers. Interfaces cover 4x32Gbps up to 8x56Gbps. The company also plan a complete portfolio of modulator, laser, pump and WSS packages for AON.
Fremco introduces the Nanoflow a fully automatic fibre blowing machine
Egide µICR Packages
The Nanoflow, Fremco’s fully automated fibre blowing machine, is powered by a 24V 2.0 Ah Li-ion battery, measures 200mm x 135mm x 100mm and weighs just 2.5kg. Snap on adaptor plates and duct adaptors mean users can easily change between di erent fiber and duct sizes, without the need for tools. Fremco said the machine was designed to meet the needs of the user, with ”a focus on the entire job and not just the blowing process” and field tests have shown e ciency is increased by 400% or more when blowing pre-connected fibres, with lower fibre damage. The reduction in fibre damage
occurs thanks to a unique double fibre protection system, where the Nanoflow will gradually blow the fibre to a preset maximum limit and then immediately interrupt the blowing process. If the torque is set higher than the maximum load limit, a built-in synchronous system will immediately stop the blowing process. The Nanoflow comes standard with two sets of adaptor plates for 1.1-1.2 mm and 1.4-1.6 mm EPFU fibre (2f-12f) and with duct adaptors for duct sizes 3-5-7-8-10 mm, but adaptor plates for other fibre sizes can be made on request. Fremco is exhibiting at this year’s FTTH Conference. Stand number B06.
Egide has also announced another series of packages for the 100Gb/s and 400Gb/s applications market, with an OIF compliant µICR. RF design has been optimised to provide high performance transitions from internal ICs to user PCB and, thanks to its internal ceramic technology mastering, the company can propose standard and customised solutions. The µICR type 1 packages are compliant with OIF class 20, 30 and 40. The company also plans a complete portfolio of modulator, laser, pump and WSS packages for AON. Egide will be exhibiting at OFC. Stand number 3425.
