Fibre optic component specialist, Fibre Associates, an i3 Group
company, has become the exclusive UK & Ireland distributor of
Fujikura's Field Assembly with Simple Technique (FAST)
connectors.
As a provider of components to some of the largest fibre optic
network projects in the world, Fibre Associates has partnered with
Fujikura as its latest range of FAST connectors allow for the
preparation and termination of fibre optic networks in a fraction
of the time of using other techniques.
Anne Campbell, commercial director at Fibre Associates, said:
"We have solid experience of using these products in the Group's
unique fibre to the home, Fibrecity networks, and have found them
innovative and easy-to-use which is why we are extending them to
our customer base.
"This deal, along with our recent partnership with Draka
Communications, demonstrates our ongoing commitment to meet our
customers' needs."
Brian Leonard, product manager at Fujikura, said: "Fibre
Associates has extensive experience when it comes to fibre optic
network deployment so this partnership is an ideal fit for our
business."
Fibre Associates sources and provides high quality components
for some of the world's largest fibre optic infrastructure
projects. Fujikura's FAST connectors are a valuable addition to the
company's range of products as they have the potential to allow
fibre optic cables to be connected in less than 30 seconds
including preparation time. This has a massive impact on the time
and cost to deliver fibre optic infrastructure.
In addition to offering a comprehensive range of off-the-shelf
fibre optic products, Fibre Associates' in-house research and
development teams produce innovative bespoke solutions to meet its
clients' exact and individual requirements.
