TIMBERCON ANNOUNCES IMMEDIATE AVAILABILTY OF (LOMMF) LASER OPTIMIZED MULTIMODE FIBER OPTIC CABLE ASSEMBLIES.

PORTLAND, OR – April 15, 2004 – Timbercon, Inc., an industry leader in the supply and manufacturing of custom fiber optic products and solutions, announced today the immediate availability of (LOMMF) Laser Optimized Multimode Fiber Optic Cable Assemblies, designed for 10 GbE solutions in premise and campus connectivity applications.

Timbercon LOMMF cable assemblies offer a unique solution for premise networking applications by enabling data transmission over longer distances, previously only available through single mode solutions. By virtually eliminating differential mode delay (DMD), 50µm LOMMF cable assemblies can transmit data up to 300 meters at 10 Gb/s, without the need for node re-interpretation. LOMMF cable assemblies connect seamlessly with any multimode network, and most single mode networks without the need for a mode conditioning cable. This transition can increase bandwidth and reduce the overall cost of network connections in both new and existing networks.

LOMMF cable assemblies are designed to support bandwidth scalability in preparation for future increasing bandwidth applications. Available with 62.5µm fiber, or 50µm fiber for optimal bandwidth application, LOMMF cable assembly terminations include FC, SC, ST, LC, MU, MTP®, and MT-RJ connector, in standard and custom configurations.
