Tyco Webinar To Focus On Pluggable I/O Solutions Tyco Electronics is to present a webinar entitled 'Pluggable I/O Solutions: Enabling Leaps in Bandwidth' on 28 January 2010. Topics for discussion will include: pluggable I/O solutions, interface options and challenges for next-generation designs. Interested parties should register for the webinar at www.tycoelectronics.com/products/pluggableIOWebinar?s_cid=2242. Tyco Electronics has introduced new options, including integrated light pipes for port indicators, connectors with improved signal integrity, enhanced EMI springs for increased EMI suppression, and riding heat sink technology for thermal management. The pluggable I/O interface is said to offer significant advantages as a high-speed interconnect in networking, storage and telecom applications. It includes standard equipment I/O interface, and with the flexibility of pluggable modules and cabling, comes with options for fibre and copper links. It supports various dat...

Photonic Offers Variable-Focus Laser Diode Modules Photonic Products is launching a range of variable-focus industrial laser diode modules. Constructed to withstand harsh conditions and satisfy challenging industrial applications, Photonic's new range of variable-focus industrial laser diode modules offers the high performance and the high boresight accuracy of less than 0.25 degrees of the existing range of standard industrial laser modules with the added bonus of user-adjustable focus for greater flexibility and fine tuning. The range is designed to be a complete original-equipment-manufacturer (OEM) laser solution for heavy-duty manufacturing processes such as micro-machining, marking, cutting, drilling, welding, forming and soldering, along with other industrial laser uses where quality, durability and robust performance are critical. The industrial modules are encapsulated in a hard-coat-anodised case with a scratch-resistant sapphire window to protect the lens. They are...
