The performance demands placed on fibre networks is constantly increasing as the industry progresses to support 10G, 40G and 100G requirements.
Reliably delivering this performance is ultimately dependent on the quality and integrity of the fibre connection. The quality and integrity of the fibre connection is defined by the endface geometry between fibre and connector, if this is not rigorously controlled then network reliability is not assured.
To ensure that ITM can deliver a superior fibre product we have invested in several polishing machines capable of PC (Physical Contact), UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) and APC (Angled Physical Contact) together with a state of the art Interferometer.
The new machines, unlike traditional hand polishing techniques, enable a highly controlled method of polishing and when coupled with the use of an Interferometer provides an assured, and certified, fibre product.
ITM offers a range of standard and custom fibre assemblies for demanding customer applications such as broadcast, data centre and defence.
