Fiber Optic Center offers the best solutions for manufacturing fiber optic cable assemblies. Almost as critical to the equipment used to manufacture fiber optic assemblies are the tools used to test and inspect. At FOC, we have focus on both the Production and the Field Test and inspection. Fiber Optic Center works with our customers to make sure their manufacturing procedures produce the highest quality jumpers at the most effective cost.

FOC focuses on several areas to ensure industry-leading solutions and best practices including:

FOC helps YOU become more efficient, reduce costs and increase yields.

Production Test and Inspection is generally used in lab type settings where the systems remain stationary. They are built to handle large volumes and typically test to a higher degree of accuracy. This equipment is not only used to provide test reports for customers, but it also allows for the collection of large segments of data that can be reviewed for improvements in the production processes.

Field Test and Inspection pieces of test equipment are designed to be highly portable with internal power supplies and smaller footprints. They are well suited for troubleshooting, mapping and certifying fiber optic networks during and after installation in the field.

We provide the highest quality equipment backed with industry-leading technical support and exceptional customer service. With cutting edge equipment, automation, and process controls.

Critical Areas in the Test STEP

  • Accurate Test Results: Improper test station setup can and will result in inaccurate testing results. “False Negatives” needlessly increase your rework, while “False Positives” potentially send non-conforming product to your customers.
  • Multimode Cable Assembly Testing: Proper mode-conditioning is essential to ensure accurate Multimode cable assembly testing.
  • Test Lead Quality: Essential and often overlooked. Consider your Test Leads to be part of your test equipment, and should be made to the highest quality possible — most importantly, Test Lead connectors should have excellent core-to-ferrule-OD concentricity.

FEATURED PRODUCT

DORC ZX-1 MICRO PMS+ PRO SINGLE FIBER INTERFEROMETER - 2.5MM

The ZX-1 micro PMS+ is a modular system allowing many different configurations and price points. Insert and remove connectors, focus, centering and reference mirror calibration adjustments are all available fully automated. No user mechanical adjustments required. The system is compact and controlled by a laptop computer (desktop or tablet PC’s optional) using a single USB 2.0 or 3.0 interface cable. The fan-less, hermetically sealed design is vibration insensitive and impervious to ingress of dust and contamination -making the ZX-1 micro PMS+ feel equally at home in both production and field based applications.

A variety of standard and custom ferrule diameter chucks are available to support all types of single fiber connector diameters and even bare fibers. Only one screw is used to secure a chuck to the interferometer and changing chucks can be accomplished in just seconds with less than 30 seconds required overall, including the apex offset calibration.
