Field Assembly-type Optical Connector

https://korean-electronics.com//inquiry

[INQ. NO. 2309E03] Korea Optron Corp. (KOC), established in 1997, is a specialized manufacturer of optical communication components with 27 years of business experience.
KOC supplies high-quality, cost-effective fiber optic products to more than 30 countries around the world, and has state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities, world-class technology, and strong R&D capabilities.
KOC has the technology to produce various products in the field of optical communication, such as optical connectors, optical patch cords, optical adapters, fixed and variable optical attenuators, MPO products, PLC splitters, FDFs, optical couplers, and WDM. All products are manufactured in facilities certified according to ISO9001, ISO14001 and TL9000 standards, and comply with other applicable international standards.
The field assembly-type optical connector can be used by measuring the distance from the optical distribution box in the electric pole to the ONT in the house without making a jumper cord in advance by the existing method, and then making a jumper cord on the spot.

Making it easy to work in the field
With the use of these kinds of field assembly-type optical connectors, if you need to move to another optical distribution box in a situation where there is no space in the subscriber network — even if the length of the jumper cord made is shorter than expected — you can quickly cope with it, thus making it easy to work in the field.

Providing convenience to assemblers
It is used to connect the cable and the input/output unit so that the data transmitted through the optical cable can arrive quickly and accurately. Unlike the connectors of jumper cord, the single-sided machining and epoxy process are pre-processed at the factory, and the parts are simplified to three — thus providing convenience to assemblers in the field, and enabling repeated fastening work and reusing.
It is simple to assemble according to the cover press method, and can be reused. In addition, it features very little optical loss, excellent connection-success rate, and few defects after opening.

Ultrasonic-based EV Battery Diagnostic Kit

https://korean-electronics.com//inquiry

[INQ. NO. 2309E01] CammSys. Corp., which was founded in 1993, advanced into the mobile phone camera module business in 2003. The company is now supplying more than 100 million products through its overseas production base in Vietnam on a yearly basis, leading the camera module sector.
Not being complacent with its present position as a market leader, CammSys continues to actively research, develop and invest in order to dominate the future market.
The recently released ultrasonic battery diagnostic kit has been developed through the company’s source technologies related to ultrasound, and is able to accurately detect changes in the physical state inside a battery.

Ultrasonic Battery Diagnosis to Enhance Battery Safety
As the ultrasonic diagnosis obtains data through vibration signals, it has higher accuracy than the existing method that assesses the calculated value through an external terminal. It can also check some issues such as battery life, defects, etc., in advance through the accumulated data, greatly helping improve battery safety.
CammSys has secured technology protection and reliability by applying for two patents on technologies used for the diagnosis kit. In particular, if the technology is developed to the extent that the battery diagnosis kit can be easily installed in a finished vehicle to check the battery, it is quite possible to cooperate not only with EV battery producers but also with a number of EV companies including CEVO Mobility, a subsidiary of the company in the EV sector.
The CEO of CammSys explained, “As for the development of the diagnostic kit, it is very meaningful that our own ultrasonic source technology has been newly applied to the battery sector which is the core of the 4th Industrial Revolution. In fact, we have actually supplied a diagnostic kit prototype for a top-notch local battery producer.”
