Neptec Optical Solutions Launches Its New Telcordia Compliant EZFieldMate Field Termination Kit.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers FREMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 14, 2004 Neptec Optical Solutions, Inc (NOS), a company that designs and builds innovative products for optical components and subsystems, has released the EZFieldMate(TM) Field Termination Kit, a portable, self-contained tool kit that enables a field technician to create factory-quality optical fiber connector An optical fiber connector terminates the end of an optical fiber, and enables quicker connection and disconnection than splicing. The connector aligns the core of the two fibers so that light can pass, and provides a mechanical coupling to hold it together. terminations in the field under harsh conditions with little training. It is the first and only field kit to produce optical terminations in compliance with Telcordia GR-1081-CORE, the Generic Requirements for Field Mountable Optical Fiber Connectors and GR-326-CORE, the Generic Requirements for Single-Mode Optical Connectors and Jumper Assemblies. "The rollout of the EZFieldMate(TM) Kit is critical to supporting the current FTTX (Fiber To The X) Refers to all the "fiber-to-the-wherever" technologies. See FTTC and FTTP.

What the EZFieldMate(TM) Kit offers is the ability to cost-effectively provide a high quality, Telcordia compliant solution for field termination requirements. The current FTTX initiatives are one of the key factors that are driving the need for field terminations. Millions of homes are being passed each year to bring fiber to the home, requiring literally hundreds of millions of optical terminations to be made in the field. The EZFieldMate(TM) Kit contains all the necessary tools and supplies to prepare and terminate fiber optic cables Noun 1. fiber optic cable - a cable made of optical fibers that can transmit large amounts of information at the speed of light fibre optic cable transmission line, cable, line - a conductor for transmitting electrical or optical signals or electric power in the field in harsh weather conditions, confined spaces, remote locations or wherever an optical connection needs to be made. Both large and small form factor connectors are supported, with PC and APC (1) (American Power Conversion Corporation, West Kingston, RI, www.apcc.com) The leading manufacturer of UPS systems and surge suppressors, founded in 1981 by Rodger Dowdell, Neil Rasmussen and Emanual Landsman, three electronic power engineers who had worked at MIT. polishes. The kit houses the tools, consumables, battery-operated oven, cleaners and scope required to make and inspect factory quality connectors in about 10 minutes. The key to the EZFieldMate(TM) Kit is a unique oven/epoxy system. This fast heating, battery operated, low-power drawing oven heats to 140(degree)C in (tilde A symbol used in Windows, starting with Windows 95, that maintains a short version of a long file or directory name for compatibility with Windows 3.1 and DOS.

Then the hand polishing process simply removes the excess epoxy and polishes to a factory quality standard. The EZFieldMate(TM) Kit and GR-1081 report are now available.
