Optical manufacturer Schott Optovance unveils the newest product in its fiber management portfolio devoted to compact fiber routing, the Light Dealer mini fiber fan-out assembly.

The Light Dealer features a very compact transition area size of about 1 inch in length and a diameter of typically 0.2 inches, resulting in a 50% space-savings over other conventional assemblies. Satisfying the need for transitioning ribbon fiber to single fiber assemblies in a small space, this new product is designed to enable denser solutions for network equipment vendors, such as switch and router manufacturers, and component makers of passive components like arrayed waveguides (AWGs).

With such a space advantage, the Light Dealer(tm) mini fiber fan-out assembly eases fiber management issues and space constraints that exist at the component, board and backplane level for designers. For example, with a more compact fiber fan-out assembly there is more space available to integrate more functionality on a board without sacrificing capabilities.
