Priorparken 680
DK - 2605 Brøndby
Denmark

OFS DK is located in 'Priorparken', one of Denmark's oldest commercial areas. With only 22 km. to Kastrup Airport and 10 km. to Copenhagen, there is easy and quick access to OFS with both public and private means of transportation.

By plane
To Kastrup Airport in Copenhagen, Denmark.
From Kastrup Airport you can come to OFS.
• By car.
• By train.
• By taxi.

By car
The route from the airport or Rødby is:
Follow the motorway E47/E55 until exit 24 Roskildevej (near Copenhagen).
Turn left and continue 500 m to the first traffic light.
Turn left onto Tavleholmsvej.
Hereafter you turn left onto Vibeholmsvej and turn right onto Vibeholms Allé.
Drive through the tunnel, and turn right towards the North Entrance.
The distance is approx. 22 km and the travelling time about 20 minutes.

By train
There is a direct connection between Kastrup Airport and Glostrup Station once an hour (branchline 2055). Otherwise there are many connections from the Airport to the Central Station in Copenhagen (Hovedbanegården), where you can change to a train heading for Høje Tåstrup Station. Get off the train at Brøndbyøster or Glostrup Station. A taxi from one of these stations will bring you to OFS within 5 minutes. It is a 15-minute walk. The following buses regularly drive from the Station to Priorparken, where OFS Denmark is located.

Bus
Busses leave regularly from Glostrup Station and Brøndby Stations. For further information, please ask at the station.

Taxi
The drive from the airport to OFS is 20 minutes and the price is approx. 200 Kr. The time distance is the same from the Central Station and the price is approx. 175 Kr.

Travel service
If you are planning to drive in Denmark, then 'Kraks Travel Planner' may be of help. When on Kraks site (krak.dk) you can order a map free of charge with precise driving directions from any address in Denmark to OFS in Brøndby.

Public transportation
If you are travelling by public transportation, then DSB's services can be recommended. DSB is the Danish state-owned Railway Company, which offers efficient help in planning your travel route when using public transportation.

In Priorparken
At the gate you will receive a guest card and driving directions to OFS. It is easy to find your way around, as the road system is oriented towards a north/south axis and the area is divided into numbered blocks. Outside normal opening hours, there is only access to the area through the North Gate.

Speed limit
Priorparken: 40 km/h.

Parking
There is free parking for guests in the specially marked parking spaces.

Priorparken
Priorparken is named after NKT's founder, engineer H.P. Prior. As OFS Denmark many years ago emerged from NKT, it is quite natural that the company is located in Priorparken. Today OFS is one of the largest companies in the area.

Avioptics
Avioptics harsh environment cable optimizes high-performance aircraft and military vehicle applications. The cable design is based on 200 µm fibers and adds coating and strength members especially for the corrosive environments encountered on aircraft, including jet fuel, oil. Solvents, and hydrolytic liquids.
FlightGuide
The FlightGuide family of aerospace fibers and cables offers high temperature and strength in graded-index fiber-based constructions. Multiple coating and cabling layers specialize the cables for military and aerospace use. Some FlightGuide fibers are available sold separately.
HCS
Hard Clad Silica (HCS) was invented by OFS scientists and now serves as the industry standard cladding material for optical glass fibers. HCS cladding imparts unusual strength to fiber and makes it easy to crimp and cleave connectors directly to the fiber using a hand tool in the field instead of more complex epoxy/polish methods.
OASiX
Optical Amplifier Simulation Software from OFS, OASiX is packaged with erbium-doped fibers sold for use in EDFAs. This software and graphical interface allows the designer to plug in modeling parameters shipped with the fiber and begin on-screen simulations. This reduces design time by predicting the performance of EDFA systems including optical components such as filters, isolators, and reflectors.
ST
This connector type features a bayonet-style nut and is commonly used in telecommunications applications.
TruePhase
TruePhase is the name to remember for all of OFS’s non-doped polarization maintaining fibers. These are single mode fibers optimized for different wavelengths and cladding size requirements.
V-System
This easy-to-use connectorization system simply plugs in with a reassuring click. It is available for simplex cables, or with a duplex latch housing for connectorizing zipcord. Connectorizing HCS coated fibers with V-System connectors takes less than 2 minutes per end when using the compatible OFS crimp and cleave kit.
ClearLite
One of the most complete, diverse lines of single-mode optical fiber you can find, ClearLite encompasses several families of photonic fibers, each optimized for different applications: 980, 1310 & 1550, Micro, Specialty Coated, Short Wavelength, and Polarization-Maintaining.
GyroSil
Designed specifically for gyroscopes and similar navigational instrumentation, GyroSil singlemode fiber has a small NA of 0.17 and reduced 80 µm cladding diameter to accommodate the tight bend radii and coiling designs inherent in gyroscopic and sensor applications.
PYROCOAT
PYROCOAT polyimide is our premier fiber coating for high-temperature applications. In recent years, we have further refined the polyimide properties to create new versions of PYROCOAT optimized for steam or chemical resistance. When applied over a hermetic carbon layer, it provides the best protection in the industry against the harshest environments.
UltraSil
Known in the medical industry for years for its ultra low water peak useful for high-power delivery, our UltraSil fibers are made from unique preforms that deliver both low OH and one of the highest NAs achievable with a silica cladding. These fibers are also finding new application in sensing when further coated with high-temperature polyimide.
