Data Communications

Depending on where the fiber optic connection transitions to copper cable (building, apartment), different terms are used, all falling under the umbrella of FTTX. IMM Photonics components are integrated into communication networks to perform customized tasks, identify faults, or check for performance losses. To ensure that internet and data services maintain their ultra-fast data transmission, IMM Photonic modules are part of the process.

Not a single bit should be lost. High speeds in fiber optic communication are only one half of the equation—losslessness is the other. Within industrial data communication systems, there’s little room for error when networks need to be both broadband and reliable. IMM assemblies prioritize both speed and loss-free transmission.

Performance and reliability are the most critical factors for networks. Without fiber optic measurement technology, monitoring and diagnosis wouldn’t be possible, and network quality would be at risk. IMM Photonics components, built on our extensive experience, ensure precise measurements that support network integrity.

Fiber optics can suffer from external influences, leading to degraded performance that may go unnoticed. Optical continuity testing provides a solution for fault detection and location within fiber optic networks. Rapid diagnosis of disruptions helps maintain the required operational continuity of fiber infrastructures by comparing signal strengths to the expected values. IMM Photonics has been providing portable test light sources for field use, even in harsh conditions, for many years.

Power connections can be challenging or unavailable in certain locations, such as remote or isolated systems. Power-over-Fiber offers a useful solution by transmitting both data and pump light for photodiodes simultaneously. The latter can be converted into electricity at the destination, powering electrical and electronic components. This combines energy supply and data communication into a single line. IMM Photonics supplies both transmitting and receiving units for this task.
