Now available from JGR Optics is the new range of slide detector (SD) adapters.
Installing FTTH doesn’t need to be a headache. Your challenge: mass deployments mean managing multiple contractors and untrained personnel. Evolving PON technologies, new test gear and training mean keeping your teams updated to deliver the outstanding quality expected.
The new Yokogawa AQ1210 optical-time domain reflectometer (OTDR) has been re-engineered internally to bring the features and user-friendly operation of the AQ7280 flagship OTDR to the installers and testers of passive optical networks (PON) and fibre to the antenna (FTTA).
Sumix Corporation has launched a new technology for inspecting multi-fibre MPO connectors.
Viavi Solutions has introduced a range of solutions designed for testing tomorrow’s network elements in today’s lab, production and manufacturing environments.
The only automated, all-in-one solution that provides a clear pass/fail diagnosis of critical polarity, continuity and connector cleanliness tests of both MPO 12 and MPO 24 links. Compatible with singlemode, multimode, APC and UPC fibers, male and female connectors, ConnectorMax MPO eliminates the need to buy different units.
PacketLight Networks has launched a new fibre optic diagnostic solution to consistently monitor signal quality and network faults in a single device.
AFL has introduced the FleXpress fast optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR) test for its FlexScan family of pocket-sized OTDRs.
Inno Instrument has introduced its View 900 cable antenna analyser to the American market at this year’s Cable Tech Expo in Atlanta.
EXFO has expanded its 400G ecosystem test portfolio with a new 400G test module featuring its Open Transceiver System (OTS). Revealed at ECOC in Rome, the OTS is a modular design concept that enables compatibility between current or future high-speed transceivers and EXFO’s test platforms (lab and field).
ECOC is the largest conference on optical communications in Europe, and one of the most prestigious and long-standing events in this field globally. ECOC 2019 will be held in Dublin, Ireland.
