  • Fiber optic sensors can measure the depth of small blind holes

    Fiber optic sensors can measure the depth of small blind holes

    A fiber optic sensor combines the advantages of optical non-contact method and mechanical contact one is developed, which can be used for measuring the diameter and form errors of very small hole or blind hole with diameter down to 0. 2 mm and depth to diameter ratio up to 20 was developed. 6 mm) that cannot be accessed using conventional measuring devices due to their size and thus cannot be inspected; Goal: non-destructive. For precise surface mounting (surface mounted technology, SMT) and through plating, in multi-layer boards it is essential to know the exact depth position of the individual copper layers. Particularly for appli- cations in the high-frequency range, even minimal errors in contact position cause. Fiber-optic sensors enable reliable and fast identification, ensuring quality for further processing. In cooperation with our spin-off company Fionec GmbH.

  • Fireproof cable tray spot check

    Fireproof cable tray spot check

    These tests make sure the cable tray is up to standard. We check for any permanent damage. Fire Resistance Testing of Cable Trays ensures they don't fuel fires or emit toxic smoke. Regular inspection of fireproof cable tray covers is essential for maintaining electrical system safety and fire protection integrity. Where cables pass through shafts, walls, slabs, or enter electrical panels or cabinets, openings shall be tightly sealed with firestopping materials in accordance with. To uncover the answer to this question, we have conducted tests on cable tray systems in different materials.

  • What communication applications are multimode optical cables used for

    What communication applications are multimode optical cables used for

    Multimode fiber cables are commonly used in local area networks (LANs),data centers, and other applications that require high-bandwidth transmission over short distances. Multi-mode links can be used for data rates up to 800 Gbit/s. Multi-mode fiber has a fairly large core diameter that enables multiple light modes to be. Multimode fiber (MMF) is an optical fiber designed to carry multiple light propagation paths—or modes—simultaneously. 5 microns, compared to the ~9-micron core in single-mode fiber. Different generations of multimode fibers, designated as OM1, OM2, OM3, OM4, and OM5, have been developed to meet the increasing bandwidth requirements of various network applications.
