New ‘mix & match’ service from fibre optic component specialist
OMC, the pioneer in optoelectronics manufacturing, has announced a new service, enabling engineers to choose exactly the right fibre optic diode for their application and have it mounted in their preferred package.
Although the company offers a wide standard range of packaged transmitters and receivers, OMC recognises that sometimes designers have specific requirements which demand a custom approach. Comments OMC’s Commercial Director, William Heath: “We regularly get approached by people who have identified a diode which is a perfect match for their needs, but find that it is not available in a housing, or in the specific housing that they need. As the housing itself - as well as the way the diode is mounted in the housing - can have serious implications for system performance, we decided to offer a ‘mix and match’ service – you specify housing and diode, we’ll look after the mounting process.”
OMC has even developed its own proprietary ACA™ (Active Component Alignment) technology to ensure that its fibre-optic data links perform consistently and reliably from link to link. The company works with housing styles including panel mount, PCB and Top Hat SMA, panel and PCB mount ST, Snap fit H19 and others. OMC also offers bespoke housings and pigtail options.
