PM fibre-based solutions

SYLEX now extends its activity by offering passive interconnectivity solutions based primarily on PANDA PM fibres and single-fibre FC, LC, SC and MU connectors, achieving low insertion loss values and high polarisation extinction ratio (PER).

In-house testing capabilities

Designing and producing fibre optic products is only the first step. Testing the performance and parameters of the product is a crucial standard in the industry. The process of fibre testing involves utilising special tools, climatic chambers, and devices to precisely evaluate all parts of the tested product.

MTP Attenuator

An MTP attenuator is a device used in fiber optic communication networks to reduce the power density of an optical signal. It is particularly useful in situations where the signal being transmitted is too strong and could potentially overload the receiving device.

Flexo Fan-Out

The Flexo Fan-Out is yet another reliable method Sylex provides for directly terminating outdoor or universal multi-fibre cables. This robust, factory-made breakout point with aluminium body is able to accommodate between 12 and 144 fibres.

Kindly enjoy the reading and let us know your thoughts or questions.

Practical guide to polarity selection

An ideal multifibre optical harness is expected to have perfect visual aspect of polished fibres, excellent end face geometry and exceptional optical parameters. The fourth essential criterion is the correct connection of the individual fibres within the terminated connectors.

Active alignment of fibre arrays to photonics chips

SYLEX now offers active alignment of fibre arrays to photonics chips. Positioning of the fibre arrays is done by 6 axis stages using sub-micron accuracy. The optimal position of fibre arrays is found using the highest level of optical signal coming out of and into the photonic chip, utilising the integrated scan routines for first light search and gradient search.

Fibre To The Antenna (FTTA)

If you need to connect a base band unit (BBU) with remote radio heads (RRH) through optical fibres, you have come to the right place. Sylex’s FTTA solution provides complete equipment which enables you to build a secure optical network between BBU and tower mounted RRHs.

Dear subscriber,

in this Newsletter, we would like to introduce the following news to you:

High density panel system called Vertex
What is important to know when making an On-Board optics connection
Robust, compact and reliable assemblies with IP protection
Armored patchcords for special applications

NEWSLETTER #12
DECEMBER 2021

VERTEX – HD 1U PANEL SYSTEM

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.

ON-BOARD OPTICS

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.

IP MPO/MTP/LC PRODUCTS

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.

ARMORED PATCHCORDS

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.

Dear Subscriber,

in this Newsletter, we would like to introduce the following news to you:

SYLEX JOINS I4DI CONSORTIUM

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.

NEW POF-BASED PRODUCTS

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.

LEGACY FIBRE VS. BEND-INSENSITIVE FIBRE IN MASTER JUMPERS

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.

A QUICK FIBRE TO THE DESK DEPLOYMENT

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.

ROBUST PULLING SOLUTION

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 801 ASSEMBLIES

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.

PRIZM® LIGHTTURN® CONNECTOR

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 WENDY system offers flexible cross-connect capabilities as well as convenient cable guidance.

24-FIBER MPO/MTP SOLUTION

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.
