Santec Corporation: PEM-400 Polarization Extinction Ratio Meter
Santec’s PEM-400 is an automated PER measurement solution that can measure all connector fibers (such as MPO) or fiber array without any manual intervention. A 12-fiber device can be measured in under 30 seconds, a 20x speed improvement on existing solutions. In addition, the PEM-400 can measure the angle of polarization and the insertion loss or output power for passive or active components, respectively. As CPOs and FAUs enter high-volume production, only the PEM-400 can alleviate the PER and angle measurement bottleneck to meet growing market needs.
JUDGE'S COMMENT: "This excellent product will substantially speed up fiber testing."
