MINNEAPOLIS—Nortech Systems Incorporated recently expanded its fiber optic technology capabilities with the addition of Expanded Beam Xtreme (EBX™) technology, the company said in a release.
Nortech Systems, a provider of engineering and manufacturing services for complex electromedical and electromechanical products, described EBX as a fiber optic technology that uses “expanded beam connectors to provide superior performance and reliability.” The EBX technology is designed to survive extremely rugged conditions, making it suitable for medical, industrial, and aerospace and defense applications, the company said.
Fiber optic interconnects are reported to be particularly well-suited for digital data transmission applications in challenging environments that demand high speeds, unremitting reliability, and immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI).
“We are excited to offer our customers the latest in fiber optic technology with the addition of EBX,” said Nortech Systems CEO Jay D. Miller, in a statement. “This technology provides superior performance, reliability, and is ideal for a wide range of applications. Integrating fiber optic technology into complex cable assemblies is a challenge in many industries.”
Nortech Systems said that with the addition of EBX, it can offer customers a wide range of fiber optic technologies, from traditional and tactical-grade multi-mode fiber to the latest in expanded beam and active optical technology. The company recently invested in a state-of-the-art clean room, dedicated specifically to advancing fiber optic technology research and development (R&D).
“Our ability to flawlessly integrate fiber optic technology, including the new EBX, is a technology solution that sets Nortech Systems apart,” Miller continued. “Expanding our fiber optic expertise allows us to innovate quickly to meet the evolving needs of our customers.”
Nortech Systems primarily serves the medical, aerospace and defense, and industrial markets.
The company’s design services span concept development to commercial design, and include medical device, software, electrical, mechanical, and biomedical engineering. Its manufacturing and supply chain capabilities are vertically integrated around wire/cable/interconnect assemblies, printed circuit board (PCB) assemblies, and system-level assembly, integration, and final test, the company said.
