Fiber optic connectors integrity testing and fast failure mode / root cause analysis:

Fersht Inc. provides the services necessary to ensure that your component meets the requisite quality standards necessary to succeed in today's competitive marketplace.  

Moreover, fiber optic connector assembly process and workmanship can be further analyzed by Fersht Inc.'s cross-sectional analysis.

We can identify problems that other testing facilities cannot, and find the root cause of a failure or potential future failure.

Fiber optic connector IL, BR data are just one factor that goes hand in hand with the assembly process and workmanship.

Cross-sectioning analysis are provided below to avaluate the assembly process and workmanship quality.

If these are not controlled, long-term network reliability is not assured. Contact us and learn more.

By using theFERSHT integrity testing plan, combined with the cross-sectioning analysis, we guarantee to find and diagnose production process faults in fiber optic and electronic products.

 

FERSHT Inc. will test your components to ensure that network connectivity remains intact.  See PHOTOS below.

Photonic Engineer/Component Designer:

  

FTTH, FTTX, Military, Biosciences, Sensor, Laser, FBG, MZ, WDM, coupler, fiber optic modules, connectors or components for space, aircraft, high vacuum or field applications:

   A. Is your fiber optic component assembly properly set up?

   B. Are you in the process of setting up assembly of new photonic product packaging?

   C. You are not sure about your assembly process, or materials stability, it can affect the performance and long-term reliability of your product?   

   D. Do you have one of the following issues with your product?

         

            1. Fiber interface and optical signal unstable? fiber component fails during work much earlier than expected or returned by customer.  

            2. Low production yield?

            3. Wavelength signal shifting over time?

            4. Loss shifts or laser power shifts much lower?           

            5. Return components / product with disconnected or failed parts, fiber joints?         

            6. High temperature sensitivity?

            7. You don't trust your components supplier and want to eliminate future potential problems?           

            8. Your customer is asking for qualification tests data?           

            9. Your components will not perform well in Temperature cycle or Humidity tests.         

           10. Fiber recoat or splicing braking?          

           11. You are not sure what epoxy glue to use in your fiber optic assembly?          

           12. You need to setup a test plan?          

           13. Evaluating fiber optic modules, connectors, components and suppliers for aerospace, military, we can help.

           14. Product failure much earlier than expected.

           15. Using epoxy that you are not sure will pass reliability requirements.

                    

Using Fersht consulting services can solve these issues.
