Fiber optic connectors This family of LC fiber optic connectors, adapters and patch cords includes single-mode and multimode versions in simplex and duplex types. The high-density LC form factor is half the size of older ST technology. The series provides low insertion loss and return loss required to create reliable gigabit Ethernet, fiber channel, ATM and other voice and data networks. Typical insertion loss is <0.20 dB for multimode and <0.10 dB for single mode.

Front-end power system The Vanguard TVN power systems front ends provide up to 3000 W output for distributed power systems. Using 1000 W hot-swap modules, a 2 U-high, 19-in. rack with three modules provides either 3000 W non-redundant or 2000 W 2+1 redundant power for 24 or 48 VDC power buses. The modules have a wide-range output voltage adjustment of 20 to 29 V for the 24 V output version and 40 to 58 V for the 48 V output version.

DWDM component The WaveSplitter X is an adaptation of DWDM technology. It begins with a 100 GHz, 1x4 base-wave device. System output meets any wavelength defined by the ITU grid and within the EDFA bandwidth. The base-wave device can stand alone, providing four channels with 0.8 nm separation, or it can be combined with sub-splitter components in a tree or cascade configuration. WaveSplitter Technologies
