Training and Methods
MIL-STD-2042 trained personnel to ensure quality. All assemblies built to MIL-STD-2042 requirements.
Molded Strain Relief
Any type of connector can be overmolded to provide superior strain relief. With suitable connectors a waterproof, rugged fiber optic cable assembly is achievable.
Life Cycle Testing
Our passive fiber solutions incorporate precision-engineered connector terminations, particularly with SC, FC and APC styles. Our advanced termination processes utilize Expanded Beam (EB) technology to significantly enhance connection longevity.
Fiber Optics for High-Speed Data
Our Advanced fiber assembly solutions ensure minimal electromagnetic interference and operational excellence in data transfer across long distances. Nortech excels in terminating fibers, with proficiency in splicing and cleaving for single-mode SM, multi-mode (MM) glass and plastic optical fiber (POF).
