What does the future hold when it comes to developments in PON technology? Keely Portway finds out
Sumitomo Electric has revealed its new FC-6+ series of benchtop cleavers, which will be released globally in the fourth quarter of 2021.
NEC Corporation, alongside subsidiary OCC Corporation and Sumitomo Electric Industries, have completed the first trial of uncoupled 4-core submarine fibre cable.
Sumitomo Electric has developed AirEB, a multi-fibre connector with an expanded beam that has optical performance tolerant to the contamination on the connector mating faces.
The University of L’Aquila in Italy is working with Optoscribe and Sumitomo Electric Industries
Optoscribe and Sumitomo Electric Industries have teamed up with the University of L’Aquila, Italy for an experimental research project to help strengthen the telecommunications infrastructure of the city.
Nippon Telegraph and Telephone (NTT) and six partners have established a new world record of 118.5Tb/s for the largest transmission capacity achieved over an optical fibre of standard dimensions.
Though the optical fibre had the same diameter as standard singlemode fibre, its structure was not standard. The design contained four cores (light paths) running along the fibre’s length.
Sumitomo Electric Industries has released a new series of ultra-high-fibre-count ribbon cables to meet the growing need for high fibre density in data centres. The new cables are available in fibre counts of 1152, 1728, and 3456.
The highest-fibre-count cable accommodates 3456 fibres in an outer diameter of 34mm while withstanding bending in any direction, and thus allows for easy installation in a 2-inch duct space.
