SYLEX is a world-class original design manufacturer
of high quality optical interconnect solutions and fiber optic sensors and sensing systems.
Dear subscriber,
in this Newsletter, we would like to introduce the following news to you:
NEWSLETTER #12
DECEMBER 2021
SYLEX has designed a new patch panel system called VERTEX, which itself increases the capacity in one 1U position in the rack threefold as compared to a standard 1U patch panel. We can offer you a 1U HD VERTEX modular patch panel system with a combination of HD VERTEX modules.
The fibers are getting closer and closer to the chipset. Bringing the data by light to the point where it is centrally processed is one of the main goals of architecture designers. What are the current possibilities for this? Which media types are available? What should one focus on when looking for interconnection solution? This article gives you the answers to these question.
SYLEX now offers a new category of harsh environment products. These robust new IP MPO/MTP or LC connectors can provide our customers with water and dust protection for various outdoor installations.
Lightweight and pliable assemblies dedicated for non-standard and harsh environment applications. Using a square locked type of stainless steel tube protects the fibres from external influences such as mechanical stress.

It is our great pleasure to inform you that Sylex has become a member of the I4DI association (Innovations for Digital Infrastructure), where we will stand alongside members such as Seagate and VNET.
In polymer optical fibres (POF), both the fibre core and the cladding are made of polymers. Key advantages of polymer optical fibres are high flexibility (high alternate bending resistance with smaller bending radii) as well as a low cost solution in connecting and transmission technology in comparison with glass optical fibres.
As technology goes forward, some inventions replace others and the replaced inventions become legacy products. This also applies for fibre optics. More and more companies are using BIMMF (bend-insensitive multimode fibre) nowadays and it is harder and harder to buy regular MMF (multimode fibre) because it is a legacy product. This is something that shouldn’t matter, but it does.
Sylex now offers a Fibre to the Desk (FTTD) solution. It is based on a minimal metal holder which is easy to use, features user-friendly installation and fits in most locations, blending into the environment. Into this holder fit Sylex MPO/MTP-LC half-size modules from the MTP panel system.

Many differing locations and requirements exist when it comes to installing connectors to an exact spot. If installers face a harsh environment, they need a higher level of protection for the connectors than what is required in a standard installation process.
ARINC (Aeronautical Radio Incorporated) standards define the components, test procedures, design, handling and maintenance approaches for fibre optic aircraft solutions. In particular, ARINC 801 is an essential part of this connectivity system’s foundation, specifying the optical connection and its parameters.
SYLEX offers a wide range of harnesses with Prizm® LightTurn® connectors which support connection to on-board active components through mechanical-optical interface (MOI) or direct connection to Broadcom MiniPOD and MicroPOD modules.
The fibres are getting closer and closer to the chipset. Bringing the data by light to the point where it is centrally processed is one of the main goals of architecture designers. What are the current possibilities for this? Which media types are available? Join in and watch our upcoming webinar to get answers to these questions.

We have recently launched an updated webpage for the Duralino fanout® trunk system. The new webpage offers a variety of different fanout options, a new structure of ordering codes, new drawings with links to cable datasheets, packaging specifications and other useful details. Another useful feature is the option we added to purchase Duralino fanouts® with grommets, which will help you to mount the fanout into different panels, boxes and enclosures..
Universal, state-of-the-art, future proof, industry tested and proven – these are the features that everybody looks for when connectivity is being planned for new high-density systems. Ticking all of these boxes is a dream for both the designers and the owners. Let’s have a look at Eduard’s article about the current interconnectivity possibilities for 400G and what insertion loss can be expected.

Sylex is introducing a new high-density carrier solution for both Telco and Datacenter projects – the WENDY system. This system offers four available carriers with a variety of modules that can carry MTP assemblies, pigtails ready for conventional splicing or even adapter plates for installation of factory pre-terminated cable assemblies. The WENDY system offers flexible cross-connect capabilities as well as convenient cable guidance.
Multi-fiber connectivity is one of the hottest talking points in fiber optic connectivity. Many white papers, webinars and blogs lean heavily toward the 12-fiber approach. It can easily be overlooked that there are other multi-fiber solutions available as well. We can cite Cisco Systems as an example of an industry leader that decided to set up some new products based on 24-fiber MPO connectors. In this article we’ll take a look at the interconnection which forms the backbone of such a system.
