Abstract :
Agiltron has developed new mill-spec fiberoptic components of bendable fiber and multi-channel fiber joint. Agiltron is near production of a new class of multimode fiber that is more durable and bendable yet less cost to replace the current mil-spec qualified fibers used in aerospace. We have demonstrated 100 times lower in bending loss than current fibers, little distortion to data transmission, can be spliced and butt connected to conventional fibers with little loss, can withstand extreme fatigue and stress corrosion factor. Agiltron has also produced a 4 channel miniature and ultra reliable 4-channel fiberoptic rotary joint (FORJ).
