Firecomms & Leoni to enhance fibre optic LED transceivers
The agreement between the two companies should enable customer supply chains to benefit from alternative fibre optic transceiver sources
Firecomms has teamed up with Leoni to offer its LED transceivers as an alternative to existing market-dominant systems.
Firecomms will collaborate with the Business Unit Fibre Optics of the Leoni Group to develop its RedLink LED-based fibre optic products. The devices have the option of coming with an LC connector and a connector interface that is compatible with Avago Technologies Versatile Link interface.

“By collaborating with Firecomms, we can profitably combine the competences of both our companies,” says Andreas Weinert, Vice President of the Business Unit Fibre Optics of the Leoni Group.
“As a result, we can offer our clients coordinated system solutions with optimised interaction of Polymer Optical (POF) and Polymer Cladded Fibre (PCF) cables, connectors, assemblies and special solutions in fibre optical technologies. Our goal is to give interested industrial companies the opportunity to qualify an alternative source of supply in order to enhance the security and flexibility of their supply chain.”
Available in mid-2013, Firecomms RedLink series will include DC-1 Mb, DC-5 Mb, DC-10 Mb and DC-50 Mb transceivers with an operating temperature ranging from -40° to 85° C.
“The increasing market demand has motivated us to provide our clients a higher degree of freedom in their supply chain,” adds Hugh Hennessy, Vice President Sales & Marketing of Firecomms Ltd.
“We welcome the cooperation with Leoni Fibre Optics, who can complement our product offering with their expertise as a leading supplier of optical fibres, cables and assemblies. The synergy of our RedLink with Leoni’s FiberConnect product lines offers clear cost-benefit advantages for our clients.”
The Business Unit Fibre Optics of the Leoni Group is one of the leading suppliers of fibre optical technology for special applications in industry, sensor technology and analytics as well as in science, communication and laser medicine.
The Business Unit Fibre Optics offers a unique product range at every stage of the value chain: from preforms and drawn fibres to fibre optic cables and complete fibre optic systems with in-house developed optical components for use in industrial, medical and telecommunication appliances.
The company has sites in Europe, America and Asia with production and support.
