Today’s splicing equipment is fast, efficient, and requires minimal maintenance due to advances in splicing technology. However, environmental contamination, such as dust, dirt, and fiber coating debris, as well as, the silica deposits generated during the fusion process eventually find their way to the optical elements and v-grooves. This contamination will offset the fibers and degrade performance. Thorough cleaning of a fusion splicer’s optical elements and alignment V-grooves is critical to ensure successful trouble-free splicing operations. CS-1 Cotton Swabs are especially useful for such cleaning operations. The small size of the CS-1 swabs ensures accessibility in tight places and will not leach out chemicals or lint and contaminate optical elements.

Rosenberger has introduced the P-SMP series of Power/RF coaxial connectors, combining all the space saving advantages of SMP connectors with the high performance of SMA connectors. Unlike SMA and QMA solutions, minimum board-to-board distances of 12.6 mm can be realized by using bullets in different lengths. Furthermore, P-SMP connectors are designed for high power loads, up to 200 W @ 2.2 GHz continuous power, and can handle high frequencies up to 10 GHz. Typical applications therefore include board-to-board connections in base stations or board-to-cable connections in power amplifier filter units.
