		<description><![CDATA[May 26, 2010 &#8211; JDSU has introduced what it asserts is the first field-portable test tool for “one-way delay” testing. An enhancement to the T-BERD/MTS-6000A Multi-Services Application Module (MSAM) provides measurement accuracy 10X greater than most service level agreements (SLAs) currently require for Ethernet backhaul and mission-critical applications, according to JDSU. This new feature is [...]]]></description>

At nearly 1/3 the size of regular fusions splicers, the T-shaped units can be operated in space-constrained areas using only one hand. Designed for a minimum excess fiber length, these splicers feature fully automatic fiber feed, alignment, splicing arc, and tension test. All splicing operations can be monitored for accuracy using an integrated CCD camera and a 2.5-inch LCD display.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The FK12 Angled Fiber Cleaver sets the standard for low reflectance fiber termination of better than -60 dB. Fast and repeatable cleaving of fiber ends at user-selectable cleave angles (0 degrees to 15 degrees) make it possible for installers to reduce the reflectance of mechanical splices and other fiber terminations without the use of index-matching gels. The FK12 is the tool of choice when quick fiber termination and low return loss are required for minimum cost.]]></description>
