FibreFab is introducing a number of new fibre-optic products include couplers based on waveguide technology at the European Conference on Optical Communication in Amsterdam in October

At ECOC 2001, FibreFab is introducing a number of new fibre-optic products, including the first demonstration of a novel coupler based on optical waveguide technology The new planar waveguide optical coupler is formed on a single 'chip size' silica block, and is a fraction of the size of conventional couplers

The couplers can branch 1 x N optical signals up to 32 ports, and a typical unit measures only 10mm wide x 6mm thick x 95mm long.

The devices are compatible with standard ribbon fibre, with flat or angle polished termination.

Also being introduced is a new range of high-power fixed optical attenuators designed for use with the new generation of high-powered lasers.

The devices cover attenuation levels from 1 to 30dB and have power-handling capabilities up to 1W.

FibreFab is also featuring its ranges of high-performance Optronics patchcords and pigtails, all of which outperform conventional products with return losses between -45dB and -55dB.

Each assembly carries its own warranty with fully certified test results, manually recorded with full traceability.
