Experience
Amphenol’s cable assembly expertise dates back to the first industry standard connector
(SMA), over 25 years ago. As new fiber optic connectors have entered the industry,
Amphenol has carefully selected the most robust and reliable connectors to participate in
their design and development. Our in depth understanding of connector design, and the
complete control of connector materials, make Amphenol cable assemblies one of the
best in the industry.
Product Breadth
Amphenol offers a comprehensive line of single mode and multimode cable assemblies in
a variety of cable configurations with SC, FC, LX.5®*, LC, ST®†, SMA, MT-RJ, and
MTP®†† (MPO) type connectors. Both standard and custom assemblies are available for a
wide variety of applications. From simplex jumpers to multi-fiber drop cables to ribbon
breakouts to optical fabric assemblies, Amphenol can design and supply all of your cable
assembly needs.
Consistent Quality
High quality polishing processes have been developed to meet and exceed industry
standards specifications for insertion loss, return loss, and endface geometry. Attention to
process control ensures high-yield processes and consistent quality. Additionally, all
assemblies are designed to intermateability standards for optical and physical performance
criteria, as dictated by EIA/TIA, IEC, JIS, NTT, ANSI, and Telcordia (where applicable).
Complete Testing
Performance testing is one of Amphenol’s fundamental strengths. Connector and cable
materials are extensively inspected prior to assembly. Every cable receives 100% inspection
for both insertion loss and visual defects (under 1200X video magnification).
Interferometers are used for accurate endface geometry testing.
Creative and Functional Designs
You specify the functionality of the cable assembly and our talented, enthusiastic, and
friendly mechanical and optical engineers develop an “end-to-end” solution. Design cre-
ativity, experience and a deep understanding of your application ensure a functional and
manufacturable design.
Manufacturing Expertise & Delivery Precision
Amphenol delivers. Meticulous attention to capacity and material planning allow
Amphenol to meet our committed ship dates on time. Every time. Amphenol knows
volume manufacturing. Rapid ramp-up of challenging new products is one of
our strengths.
