Photonic Network Innovation NEL photonic business group is a market leader in several fields essential to photonic network innovation. Our product line includes silica-based planar lightwave circuit (PLC) components, laser diodes, photo diodes,and other related components and devices. We are a group of specialists taking on the challenge of creating new products that will support the next generation systems. We have also continuously increased our production capacity in order to respond to the increasing customer's demand. Optical Fiber Circuit Optical Fiber Circuit Our optical fiber circuit offers a fiber management solution which provides a broad range of design and application for optical interconnection products. Optical fibers, which are embedded or encapsulated in elastic polymer, allow fiber crossing without optical loss, high environmental reliability and high flexibility. Ribbonizing free fibers at each fiber ends allows an easy fabrication of multifiber array connector (e.g., FPC, MPO, MPT, MPX, MT). Features Features * Wide size range of a few cm to a few meters Maximum size : 1800mm x 950 mm (72 in. x 38 in.) * Broad fiber range of 125m to 2000m diameter, silica fiber and plastic fiber * High fiber density serving as 64 x 64 cross connection in less than 20 x 30 mm space * Very low optical loss at fiber crossing and curvature and undetectable insertion loss * Broad operation range of temperature (-25 C ~+75 C) and high humidity (max. 95%) Applications * intra-rack fiber management and rack harness * complex optical backplane, interconnecting optical boards * on-board optical wiring to connect PLC devices Performances Optical Performances (single mode fiber) Insertion Loss < 0.01dB Mechanical Performances Minimum Vending Radius Maximum loading weight 22 mm 50g/cm 2 Environmental Characteristics Operating Temperature -25 C ~ +75 C Procedure for Manufacturing Optical Fiber Circuits DESIGN ROUTING LAMINATING, EMBEDDING, RIBBONIZATION CONNECTORIZATION CAD, CONVERSION SOFT TO ROUTING FILE LAYDOWN MACHINE INJECTION MACHINE, RIBBONIZER MULTIPLE FIBER or SINGLE FIBER CONNECTOR (FPC,MT,MPO,MPX,MTP ; LC,MU,SC etc.) OPTICAL FIBER CIRCUITS All information and specifications are subject to change without notice.
