Cleaved MPO fibre optic connectors

光纤用于数据通信、远程通信和互联网通信。允许光纤互联的连接器是光纤基础设施的重要组成部分，全球销售额达30亿美元。光纤越来越多地被部署为12根或更多光纤的带状，这些光纤必须连接起来。多光纤网络架构的推广受到多光纤即插即用(MPO)连接器高成本的阻碍。在这个项目中，我们将使用开发技术来制备MPO光纤连接器，成本大大降低。我们相信，这将促进MPO光纤连接器的使用，从而改善全球电信业务。我们将生产可在世界各地使用的制造设备，以制备MPO连接器。我们将从机器销售和客户销售这些低成本连接器的许可证收入中获得收入。安装光纤网络每年需要在全球范围内端接数十亿根光纤。安装速度至关重要。利用我们的新技术，我们还将创新一种独特的、可现场安装的连接器，该连接器将极大地减少互联网数据中心等大型、高容量网络的安装时间。我们将与我们的合作伙伴合作，在全球范围内制造和销售这款产品。

Optical fibre is used for for data-, tele- and internet- communications. Connectors, which allow interconnection of optical fibres, are a crucial part of optical fibre infrastructure and represent world sales of $3Bn. Increasingly, fibres are deployed as ribbons of 12 or more optical fibres and these must be connectorised. The spread of multi-fibre network architectures are hampered by the high cost of multi-fibre push-on (MPO) connectors.In this project, we will use develop technology to prepare MPO optical fibre connectors at substantially reduced cost. We believe that this will enhance the usage of MPO fibre connectors, leading to improved telecommunications worldwide.We will produce manufacturing equipment which can be used across the world to prepare MPO connectors. We will gain revenue both from machine sales and from licence revenue from our customers' sales of these reduced-cost connectors.Installing optical fibre networks requires billions of fibres to be terminated annually worldwide. Speed of installation is crucial. Using our new technology, we will also innovate an unique, field-installable connector which will dramatically reduce installation time for large, high capacity networks such as internet data centres. We will work with our partners to manufacture and sell this worldwide.
