Molex, KiloLambda offer optical fuse

Fiber Optics Weekly Update, March 21, 2003

Molex in partnership with KiloLambda Technologies, Ltd. announced the availability of an innovative new product to protect optically amplified systems and networks. The optical fuse is a component that can be placed in any fiber optic system that is optically amplified to protect expensive equipment and the fiber cable itself from damaging power spikes and surges.

Its passive operation causes an immediate drop in signal level when the transmitted optical power exceeds the fuse's pre-set power rating. The compact optical fuse can be provided in a patch cord style package for installation between pieces of equipment or as a bare fiber assembly for simple fusion splice integration into optical circuit packs.
