TIMBERCON INTROS MASTER CALIBRATION CABLE PRODUCT LINE

LAKE OSWEGO, OR, July 20, 2006 –Timbercon, Inc., the fiber optic product and solution manufacturing company providing a vast array of connectivity solutions, introduces its Master Calibration Cable product line which provides documented, precision optical performance for testing, calibration, and critical signal integrity applications.

Timbercon Master Calibration Cables incorporate the functionality and connectivity options of traditional fiber optic cable assemblies with premium components and very strict performance/mechanical specification tolerances. Each Master Calibration Cable is tested for optical and mechanical performance against very rigid tolerances, with supporting documentation for insertion loss, return loss (for single mode cables) and interferometric measurements prior to receiving ‘Master Calibration’ status.

“The need for calibration cables has been on the rise as more and more clients are working with applications that require verifiable proof of optical performance for testing applications,” commented John Lee Jr., VP of sales for Timbercon. “By providing performance and test reports with each cable, our customers can utilize actual performance data for each cable, ensuring more accurate correlation measurements.”

Timbercon offers a recertification service for each Master Calibration Cable, allowing the user to return the cable at determined intervals for inspection, cleaning, and if necessary re-polish and/or re-termination. Upon completion, each cable receives an updated performance/test report and a ‘re-certified’ status.

Timbercon Master Calibration Cables utilize red jacketed fiber for easy differentiation from standard fiber cables and serialization to allow simple matching to accompanying performance/test documentation. All Master Calibration cables are available in single mode or multimode, simplex or duplex, with a wide range of connector, length, jacketing, and custom options to suit any environment.
