Conolog Launches Fidra

Apr 19, 2012 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Conolog Corp. announced the launch of Fidra, a fiber optic switch designed to monitor, reroute, repeat, boost and disable up to three fiber optic communication pairs.

According to a release, utilizing industry standard SFP modules allows Fidra to support various optical communications including single/multimode, LED/Laser as well as multiple wavelengths. Common applications for Fidra include: 1. Transmitter disabling 2. Fiber optic path routing 3. Wavelength and fiber type conversion 4. Level monitoring 5. Local and remote loopback testing Fidra resides in-line with equipment utilizing fiber optic communications, allowing for testing and maintenance without the need to remove and reroute fiber cables, the Company said. Fidra eliminates damage to fibers and components caused by routine handling.

Fidra is programmable to route any receive signal to any of the three transmitters. All routing is performed at the physical layer (PHY layer), therefore Fidra communications are transparent to the transmitting and receiving equipment, regardless of brand. No protocol support is required and only microseconds of delay are added to the signal propagation time, making it ideal for differential relaying applications. Testing and monitoring are streamlined, while providing safety to the technician and ease of implementation.

Marc Benou, President of Conolog, said, "We are excited about the much anticipated release of our one-of-a-kind product, Fidra, to the global marketplace. While Fidra is targeted for use in the electric utility industry for fiber communications, it can be applied to any fiber application and therefore has broad appeal. The launch of Fidra is in-line with Conolog's strategic plan to augment sales through the expansion of our current product line and the introduction of new, innovative products. Fidra was developed for a major US utility that is currently conducting final compliance testing. We are pleased to have filled our customer's requirements in such a short period of time, and look forward to supplying Fidra to the many other utilities that utilize fiber optics in their protection circuits."
