Request Infotrans data elektronik GmbHTrans data elektronik (tde) GmbH has announced its tML 24-System, a cabling system with MPO 24 fiber connectors on trunk cables and modules. The rear cabling is based on the 24-fiber connector, with two rows of 12 fibers each. To ensure easy migration, tde provides different modules for high investment protection and flexibility. The tML 24-System allows the use of consistently and uniformly allocated components on both sides of the modular link system for all transmission rates.See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSPhotonics Spectra May 2022 IssueOptical Wavelength MetersThe 238 Series Optical Wavelength Meter from Bristol Instruments Inc. features a broad operational range from 700 to 1650 nm.
