May 2, 2007 -- The fiber-optic connectivity specialist Timbercon, Inc. recently announced an increase in the capacity of the company's MT Elite cable assembly production line. The company says the increase in capacity will allow it to meet rising demand for its MT Elite products.

Timbercon says its MT Elite assemblies are designed and manufactured to ensure optimal performance with very tight tolerance requirements and low loss applications. According to the company, the MT Elite products are designed to provide signal transport and distribution capabilities with the same small form factor and high-density considerations as traditional MT products, while maintaining very stringent loss budgets, less than 0.35 dB.

"Timbercon MT Elite assemblies provide our customers with an ideal solution for applications where both connector density and very low insertion loss are of critical importance," says Nolan Pitts, key account manager for Timbercon. "This increase in production capacity will enable us to keep pace with the increasing demand for these products."

The MT Elite products are available in 4, 8, and 12 fiber count singlemode 9.0-µm assemblies, with a number of jacketing, breakout and connectorization options.
