Canford Launch Fibre Termination Service

Following strategic investment, Canford launched their new fibre termination facility at IBC 2016.

The new facility is located at the company's Washington UK headquarters and offers a short lead-time service for the termination of LEMO, Neutrik and other fibre connectors, for situations where speed is of the essence and where high quality, reliable product is critical.

The fibre termination service is a natural progression of Canford's UK manufacturing capability, demonstrating the company's tenacity to evolve with new technology, and its continued commitment to support customers with innovative and relevant products.

Fibre termination project lead, and Head of Design John Driver, added: "The company has made a commitment to providing customers with an industry leading, high quality fibre termination service, backed by a significant investment in equipment and staff training.

"We launched our fibre termination service at IBC, which gave us a great opportunity to speak directly to customers, and understand how they intend to use the service. Feedback was incredibly positive, and we're looking forward to accepting orders."

The new clean room facility is equipped with state of the art fibre termination and test equipment to ensure that a first class service will be delivered "as standard".

Industry leading testing and certification of fibre terminations will demonstrate quality and confirm correct geometry and fibre alignment within the connector ferrule (fibre offset).

This attention to detail guarantees alignment and ensures terminations meet both IEC and Telcordia industry standards.

Test certificates are available if required, and will certify curvature radius, linear and angular offset, spherical fibre height along with a 3D illustration of the ferrule profile.
