Major Markets Get Their Own Brochures
OFS has supplied fibers, cables, and connectorized assemblies to the medical and industrial markets for over 20 years now. Some of our loyal customers already knew what to order. Our knowledgeable Technical Sales Engineers walked newer customers through the various options, quizzing them until we knew exactly what they needed from their optical fiber product, and then we made it for them.
With the compilation of these two new brochures, our customers have an advantage. They can browse through capabilities, selection guides, even product specifications and get an idea whether we have what they’re looking for (we almost always do!) prior to their call.
Medical customers can see that we have a wide variety of biocompatible and sterilizable products as single-use disposables and durable multiple-use probes. They’re introduced to the array of cabling and coating options to meet their needs for laser delivery, high-temperature performance, intra-body flexibility, and data transmission.

For years, industrial customers have relied on OFS’s 200 µm HCS® optical fiber cables to transmit their data from the factory floor to their programmable logic controllers. They could connectorize those cables to the lengths they required in their own facilities and test those interconnections to ensure reliable data transmission. Now a whole new crop of applications in industry can take advantage of the products and capabilities OFS offers—from the new 62.5 µm optical fiber size, to cables specialized for wind-turbine use or public utility transfer stations, and more. See the possibilities with our new brochure, Solutions for Industry: Industrial Capabilities. Request your print copy today or download a PDF version.

Specialty Optical Fibers Redefine the "X" in FTTX
The term FTTX, shorthand for fiber to a particular destination like to the desk or to the home, is taking on new meaning as optical fiber is found in many new and challenging places. In other words, the "X" in FTTX means even more.

Distributor Conference
The OFS Distributor conference was held March 3-4, locally at the Simsbury 1820 House for our representatives from China, Germany, France, Italy, Korea, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and Japan. Timing was ideal because everyone was already away from their businesses and traveling for the OFC Conference in San Diego.

New Book Tells What's "Special" About Specialty Optical Fibers
We may have become accustomed to thinking of optical fibers exclusively as a transmission medium in telecommunications.
But, although fiber optics have made their mark in all sorts of telecommunications components and devices—as a new book entitled, Specialty Optical Fibers Handbook, edited by Alexis Mendez, and T. Morse, makes very clear—there are now many other varieties of non-telecom optical fibers, and they are used in a myriad of applications.
