FCI, a supplier of connectors and interconnect systems, has launched FCI Fiber Optics, a product line of fibre-optic couplers, splitters, taps, wavelength division multiplexers (WDMs), cable assemblies and adaptors based on proven technology from Canstar.

With this wide range of product offerings, the company says that its FCI Fiber Optics line is able to accommodate applications ranging from data communications for military and commercial aircraft to ignition control on power generators.

Canstar has been a leader in the fibre-optics industry since 1978, when the company was the first to develop optical coupler technology. Since then, Canstar has become synonymous with optical coupling and fibre-optic technology. In June 1997, FCI Canada acquired Canstar Optical Coupler from Alcatel Canada and continues to develop fibre-optic products and technology.

The FCI Fiber Optic line of products includes several types of couplers for various design specifications including one-in, many-out couplers; WDMs; and one-in, two-out couplers available as even-split or ratio-split. Even-split couplers include traditional splitters, y-junction couplers and 50:50 couplers, while ratio-split couplers include access and tap couplers. FCI attenuators, or one-in, one-out couplers for attenuating all wavelengths, are also included in the product line.

Couplers are available in multimode and single-mode styles. Multimode couplers enable users to transmit data through the optical fibre via multiple modes simultaneously.

Single mode couplers are available for specific wavelengths in a single or dual window design.
