Ruggedization of Expanded Beam Fiber Optic Cables
Nortech Systems recently announced an expansion of its fiber optic capabilities with the launch of Expanded Beam XtremeTM (EBXTM), a ruggedized and highly customizable platform of fiber optic solutions. Expanded beam fiber optic connectors use a larger beam diameter than a physical contact interface. The oversized light beam used in a lensed connection provides increased […]
Enabling Data Management Through Smart Cables
In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, organizations of all types find themselves immersed in an unprecedented amount of data generation and collection. The possibilities for leveraging data are virtually limitless, making data management and utilization the next frontier in value creation, efficiencies, and innovation. Yet navigating the challenges of data management remains a daunting effort. […]
Active Optical for Video Displays and Remote Patient Monitoring
Hybrid Cables Send Power and Data to Video Displays for Patient Monitoring Active Optical Xtreme™ (AOX™) cables are hybrid power plus data fiber optic cables. This makes them ideal for use in medical settings, where the need to transmit both image or video data and power over a long distance is common. Fiber optic, active optic […]
USB-C Active Optical Cables for Machine Vision
With the accelerated changes in technology and today’s cable ecosystem, vision camera and sensor systems are rapidly requiring better, more reliable data transmission, and more of it across longer distances at faster speeds. The manufacturing trends towards smart factories, increased use of robotics, and more and more machine vision applications within those industries are driving […]
Active Optical Xtreme™ Cables in Rugged Environments
Active Optical Xtreme (AOX™) is the newest small form-factor platform in an expanding frontier of Active Optical Cable technologies. Active Optical Cabling is a hybrid design technique that employs optical fiber and integrated transmitters and receivers “between the connectors” to deliver the same electrical bandwidth as would be found in a far larger number of […]
Multi-Function Cable Application Trends
Vision and sensor systems are rapidly requiring better, more reliable data transmission, and more of it across longer distances at faster speeds. The manufacturing trends towards smart factories, increased use of robotics, and more and more machine vision applications within those industries are driving this demand. Current commodity cables fall short of keeping up with […]
The Future is Self-Aware Multi-Function Cables

See us at the conference and at Booth #311. A paradigm shift is occurring across the electronics industry where vision and sensor systems are rapidly advancing in […]
Active Optical Cables VS Traditional Copper
Traditional copper wiring has many constraints. As InfiniBand data speeds increase and data centers cluster in size, copper cable technology is being pushed to its limits. Passive cables are restricted by their conductivity and can only carry a certain amount of data over short distances. Active optical cables transcend some of the constraints of passive […]
Machine Vision Applications Of Active Optical Xtreme
Machine vision is a technology that uses cameras, software algorithms, and other processing hardware to generate rapidly increasing amounts of video and still imagery for real-time analysis. Nortechs Active Optical Xtreme cable is the best way to keep up with the rapid changing vision systems. Vision systems are used in various industries, such as automotive, […]
