Santec eyes cable assembly test market with double acquisition
Santec Corporation has acquired JGR Optics and OptoTest Corp.
Santec Corporation has acquired JGR Optics and OptoTest Corp.
Now available from OptoTest is the custom, made-to-order OP720-Matrix MEMS 3D Optical Switch for fibre optic manufacturers, test laboratories, and network designers.
The latest polarity testing solution from OptoTest – the OP415 polarity analyser is designed to efficiently test 24-fibre MTP/MPO cable assemblies, but it can also be easily configured for 8-fibre and 12-fibre testing.
It comes pre-loaded with 12-fibre and 24-fibre polarity types A, B, and C, plus the ability to create and store custom fibre mappings and channel configurations. Alternatively, the polarity analyser can learn polarity types from existing cables and store them for future use.
OptoTest has introduced the OP740, its most advanced multichannel high-speed optical power meter, at ECOC 2017 in Gothenburg, Sweden.
The OP740 retains many of the existing specifications of the current OP710 optical power meter, while introducing features such as variable sampling rate, simultaneous multichannel display, and a more robust user interface.
Test and measurement specialist OptoTest has released a brand-new software suite, OPL-CLX. The software has been developed for the modern optical cable production and assembly line, to streamline the experience for the operator when using OptoTest’s insertion and return loss measurement instruments.
Camarillo, California-based OptoTest is proud to announce the release of an update to its OP720 optical switch for test and measurement applications. The company’s existing slim-line, 1U enclosure still works for 1xN switches up to 24 channels, but the redesign allows for many new configurations to fit within a 2U rack-mountable enclosure, the company says. These changes will enable greater degrees of customisation to suit customers’ requirements.
As part of ongoing efforts to improve the usability of its products, OptoTest has released a major update to its OPL-Max software. The new features and the improvements to existing features will greatly improve the user experience when testing insertion loss and return loss on multi-channel fibre-optic assemblies.
OptoTest Corporation introduces LAAD-MXC Adapters, the first solution designed in conjunction with USConec specifically to accommodate MXC connectors, which can connect to any of our large area detectors to allow for effortless loss testing.
OptoTest has introduced the new OP940 Insertion Loss and Return Loss instrument as the next generation of its IL/RL technology. This instrument boasts a larger colour display with multiple layers of functionality.
