Standards key to fibre-optic system interconnect
Full compliance with industry standards is the driving force behind a complete series of building blocks for fibre-optic system interconnection from FCI.
By ensuring perfect consistency in the matrix fibre optic cable lengths, the Shuffle alleviates timing difficulties by removing the possibility of propagation delay or skew.
Of plastic construction, epoxy filled and terminated by standard MPO/MTP multifibre connectors, the shuffle presents a more robust and cost effective solution than alternative flexible optical circuits.
Measuring 50 x 10 x 10mm, the Shuffle's compact size also helps improve airflow in temperature sensitive back plane systems.
Equally suitable for use in hybrid and true optical cross connects, the Shuffle is one of the first new devices to emerge from FCIûs MT Max product family, introduced to provide a complete set of building blocks for fibre optic system interconnection.
Sampling of the new MT Max Shuffle begins now, with volume production planned for the beginning of 2002.
