Molex, KiloLambda release optical fuse line

Molex Inc. and KiloLambda Technologies Ltd. have announced the availability of an optical fuse that can be placed in any fiber optic system that is optically amplified to protect expensive equipment and the fiber cable itself from damaging power spikes and surges.

The compact optical fuse can be provided in a patch cord style package for installation between pieces of equipment or as a bare fiber assembly for simple fusion splice integration into optical circuit packs.
