New Interconnect Technologies
With a strong commitment to development, Sumitomo are active
in adding innovative new products to our range.
Recent developments have focussed on 3 key areas:
Low Connecting Loss:
- High precision MT ferrules to offer a random mating insertion
loss </= 0.35dB.
- Chamfered guide pin holes for increased durability of connectors
& high mating cycle applications.
- Available for MPO and LIGHTRAY MPX™
Flame Retardant:
Flammability is an increasingly common concern and we offer
fully flame retardant interconnect solutions supported by the
inclusion of:
- Flame retardant 900mm tight buffered fibre.
- The first flame retardant ribbon fibre available in the market.
- High performance, Riser-rated ribbon cord.
High Density:
Sumitomo propose increased fibre density offering patch cords
and pigtails with a reduced bend radius:
- Sumitomo’s Pure Access (PA) 15mm bend radius fibres with full compatibility to standard SM for both connection and fusion splicing allow significant space reductions in fibre management and a 10-15mm saving in the backplane.
- Sumitomo’s Pure Access Ultra (PAU) 7.5mm bend radius fibres with full compatibility for connection to standard SM fibres offers 90% space saving in fibre management and over 20mm saving in the backplane.
New developments in MT ferrule technology offer:
- MPO and LIGHTRAY MPX™ with 24 fibre MT ferrule. This connector with 2 rows of 12 fibres offers a high density solution.
