We have just released our GBIC and Small form Pluggable (SFP) Fibre Transceivers. Both the GBICs and SFP’s are available in 5 configurations to cater for various distance requirements. There is a multimode option, and four singlemode options at 10km, 40km, 70km and 110km transmission distance.

Both the SFP and GBIC are compatible with Cisco switches, so we expect these transceivers will prove very popular. They are also compatible with other brands of switches, provided they do not use proprietary code in the interface.

We now have a DC adaptor available for the Y70 fibre splicer. This allows you to power the fusion splicer from a 12V DC source, such as the one found inside a car. Some installers have a van set up for fibre installation, and the 12V input is ideal for this situation.

12V DC input for Y70 fusion splicer

When we upgraded the fusion splicer to include a Lithium battery, we changed the layout of the inputs and outputs, and removed the DC input. Since then, we have recieved feedback that some people prefer a direct 12V DC input to running the splicer from a battery. So for those who would prefer a DC input, it is now available as an option.

The part number is Y70-DCIN
