Telcordia GR-1221-CORE

Agilecom’s fiber array block units (FABU’s) utilize glassor silicon substrate and special fabrication technologies toachieve accurate fiber position and high reliability to meetdifferent requirement.
The FABU’s are produced by placing fibers in precision
glass v-groove substrate with another flat glass chip on
top to form a 3-point contact with unique material andprocessing technologies. This enables packaging designers to match the thermal expansion coefficient of FABU
with pigtail devices to achieve stress free performance andhigh reliability. The FABU end facet is polished accurately to required angle without fiber piston effect in alarge working temperature range.
These products meet or exceed Telcordia GR-1209-CORE
and GR-1221-CORE reliability qualification requirement.
