At the European Conference and Exhibition on Optical Communication (ECOC) 2012, Vytran, a provider of optical fiber splicing and processing solutions, will showcase CAS-4100, the company’s latest optical fiber splicer under its CAS-4000 Series.
ECOC 2012, which will be held in Amsterdam from September 17 to 19, 2012, is the first to exhibit a CAS-4000 Series product in the European market. Vytran introduced the CAS-4000 Series in the United States early this year. The series consists of two products, namely the CAS-4100 and CAS-4100-P, which are smaller footprint, semi-automated systems demonstrating superior performance.
CAS splicers are capable of splicing regular and specialty fibers from 80-µm diameter. They are suitable for mass production and development applications in a wide variety of markets, including fiber laser, telecom, aerospace and medical. CAS-4100-P is customized for polarization-maintaining fibers.
CAS systems are ideal for space-constraint applications as all of its components, including display and computer, are integrated into the splicer to create a single unit. They have Vytran's One Step Splice process software to facilitate simple user-friendly fiber splicing and process control. They also enable exterior splice control and data export through Ethernet and USB ports for statistical process control.
Vytran’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Jean-Michel Pelaprat commented that CAS-4000 Series optical fiber splicers are designed to deliver one-box, user-friendly systems that rapidly and effectively create the high-strength, low-loss splices, which are the characteristics of filament fusion technology. Through this exhibition, ECOC participants in Europe will know the ways of using CAS systems in their specific applications, ranging from the creation of fiber-based components and splices for fiber lasers and fiber sensing to erbium-doped fiber amplifier production in telecommunications.
