Technology
Valde has successfully incorporated proprietary manufacturing techniques into our core product offering. With nearly 15 patents (either granted or pending), combined with multiple offshore manufacturing sites, Valde is uniquely positioned to accommodate the most stringent, high volume requirements. Our technology includes the fused biconical tapered process, which adheres to all Telecordia GR-1209 & GR-1221 requirements. The DWDM product line, based on thin film filters, meets Telecordia requirements. The attenuator product utilizes a patented all fiber approach which meets the most difficult industry specifications Telecordia GR-910.
Valde has also successfully launched an innovative breakthrough known as the Impact Mount™ Technology. This enabling technology dynamically wraps metal around glass for high quality, hermetically sealed interconnection applications. On going enhancement to the process via automation make the IMT solution one of the most significant advancements in the fiber optic industry.
Impact Mount™ Technology Concept
The mounting process is accomplished in three steps:
- Impact Mount tool dynamically compresses the metal ferrule tip around the fiber;
- Crimps buffer at the rear of the connector;
- Polishes end of ferrule in 20 seconds.
Note: Additional crimping for Kevlar cables provides further stability and strength.
