Verrillon-AOFR Announces Release of AnyMode Multimode Tap Couplers for Multimode Network Monitoring.High-Tech Writers OFC OFC Office OFC Officer OFC Of Course OFC Oxygen Free Copper OFC Oceania Football Confederation (soccer) OFC Optical Fiber Cable OFC Optical Fiber Communications OFC Optical Fiber Conference 2004 NORTH GRAFTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 19, 2004 For the first time, equipment designers and network managers can transparently monitor traffic and handoffs on their multimode fiber An optical fiber with a larger core than singlemode fiber. It is the most commonly used fiber for short distances such as LANs. Light can enter the core at different angles, making it easier to connect the light source to broader light sources such as LEDs. networks regardless of network standards in operation. Verrillon-AOFR, a leading specialty optical fiber and components manufacturer, today announced the release of its AnyMode multimode couplers. The AnyMode couplers offer non-intrusive monitoring of new high-speed networks operating over multimode optical fiber. They provide a cost effective solution to monitoring optical traffic and handoffs regardless of the networking standard in operation, representing a considerable increase in transparency over traditional methods. Typically multimode couplers have a coupling ratio that varies considerably depending on whether the source is an LED or laser (VCSEL (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser) Pronounced "vixel." A type of laser diode that emits light from its surface rather than its edge. A VCSEL's circular beam is easy to couple with a fiber, and due to its surface-emission architecture, can be tested ). These variations can lead to power budget problems. Because AOFR's AnyMode coupler Refers to a myriad of different types of sockets for plugging in electric or electronic cables or devices. See network coupler. is independent of the source, the coupling ratio remains stable. The device will maintain a constant coupling ratio regardless of transmitter equipment, allowing transparent monitoring of high-speed, multimode optical fiber networks. AnyMode couplers use standard Corning 50/125 micron or 62.5/125 micron multimode fibers and are available in a variety of tap ratios and package options. "Now network and equipment designers have greater flexibility and can monitor the traffic and handoffs on their Gigabit Ethernet, SONET, FDDI (Fiber Distributed Data Interface) Often pronounced "fiddy," it was a LAN and MAN access method that had its heyday in the mid-1990s. FDDI was an ANSI standard token passing network that transmitted 100 Mbps over optical fiber up to 10 kilometers. , Fiberchannel, and other networking standards that are operating over multimode fiber," said Dr. Peter Jacob, Marketing Director at AOFR AOFR Assumption of Financial Responsibility . "The AnyMode multimode coupler provides significant advantages in systems that use different equipment throughout the network or feeding to and from networks." Verrillon and AOFR will be exhibiting in Booth #4626 at OFC 2004 in Los Angeles, February 24-26.
