OVERVIEW
 

The foundation of Valde s innovative product line is IMPACT MOUNT™ TECHNOLOGY.
IMT is used in the design and manufacturing of Valde s all-metal-epoxyless field termination connectors, mechanical splices, and installation kits.

IMPACT MOUNT™
IMT is a radial compression fit of a ductile metal around a cylindrical glass surface. The need to metallize optical fiber is eliminated by Impact Mount™ Technology (IMT). The IMT is a unique, patented design that assures reliable terminations time after time by securing the glass fiber within the metal ferrule. Attachment of metal ferrules to the fiber(s) occurs in one fast mechanical action. This action, called the impact, occurs between the stripped fiber and the ferrule using a precision impact mount die. For a single fiber operation, the result easily creates a hermetic seal between the fiber and the ferrule.

HEPTOPORT™
A progeny of IMT, HeptoPort™ represents a major manufacturing breakthrough for scalable low cost self-aligned, multi-port optical component design.

IMT LASER PIGTAILS
Suitable for high power application, Valde IMT Laser Pigtail technology provides hermetic seal without metallization and heat dissipation through metal ferrule as a few of the wide range of benefits resulting from the applications of IMT.
