An intermediate power supply unit for distributing lower voltage power to remote devices is disclosed. The intermediate power supply unit includes a higher voltage power input configured to receive power distributed by a power source and a power coupling circuit configured to couple the higher voltage power input to a plurality of power coupling outputs. If it is determined that a wire coupling the power source to the higher voltage power input is touched, the higher voltage power input is decoupled from the power coupling outputs. The intermediate power supply unit also includes a power converter circuit configured to convert voltage on higher voltage inputs to a lower voltage applied to one or more lower voltage outputs. The power converter circuit is also configured to distribute power from the one or more lower voltage outputs over a power conductor coupled to an assigned remote device.

A mesh () is placed around a bundle () of fused glass fibers. The bundle is then immersed in a leaching bath (). The ends of the bundle are protected from the bath fluid by furrules (). Some of the glass of the bundle is leached out, so as to provide a flexible fiber bundle.

Method of manufacturing a leached fiber bundle

A method of mounting electro-optical devices on an optical element using an auxiliary substrate is provided herein. Electro-optical fiber optic assemblies are also described herein.

Method of mounting optoelectronic devices on an optical element and article

An assembly for mounting at least one optical fiber including a mounting frame defining a passageway therethrough. A fiber assembly plate generally defines a plane generally perpendicular to an axis of the at least one optical fiber and has a perimeter. The fiber assembly plate receives the at least one optical fiber. A mounting mechanism is disposed at a fixed location on the mounting frame and supports the fiber assembly plate over the at least one passageway. The mounting mechanism allows generally planar thermal expansion and/or contraction of the fiber assembly plate. A method of positioning at least one optical fiber in optical communication with an optical component using an athermal mount is also disclosed herein.

A method to skew or deskew a plurality of optical channels in a multichannel optical cable which includes the steps of determining an optical pulse transmission time in at least a first channel and a second channel of the multichannel optical cable. A relative pulse delay between the first channel and the second channel of the multi-channel optical cable is calculated. Delay optics with the appropriate relative pulse delay are serially optically connected to at least one of the channels to one of skew or deskew the first channel relative to the second channel.

Method to deskew parallel optical links

A system for positioning at least one optical fiber. The system includes a plate having a major surface defining a hole adapted to receive an optical fiber. A spring is located on the plate and is located at least partially within the hole to position the optical fiber therein and/or additional plates are used to position the optical fiber.

A multi-fiber in-line attenuator module configured for insertion in the fiber optic pathway of an optoelectronic network to provide a predetermined value of attenuation for all propagating modes in the pathway includes first and second multi-channel interface members each having a mating face, an interconnect face, and alignment holes and n-optical channels formed therethrough, a multi-fiber ribbon cable terminating in the interconnect face of each multi-channel interface member with the optical fibers thereof disposed in the n-optical channels, alignment pins disposed in the alignment holes of the first and second multi-channel interface members so that the n-optical channels of the first and second multi-channel interface members are optically aligned, a mating clip for retaining the first and second multi-channel interface members in mated combination, and an NDF (neutral density filter) film adhered to at least one of the mating faces of the first and second the multi-channel interface members, the adhered NDF film having a predetermined composition and thickness to provide the predetermined value of attenuation for the multi-fiber in-line attenuator module.
