NFOEC 2003 Attendees' Choice Award Winners
Lightwave is pleased to recognize the winners of its third annual Attendees' Choice Awards, held at the 2003 National Fiber Optic Engineers Conference (NFOEC) in Orlando, FL, in September. The awards are designed to provide a "grass roots" view of what's hot and what's not, and many NFOEC attendees took the time to tell us which products impressed them the most at the show. Look for additional Attendees' Choice Awards opportunities at the upcoming OFC 2004 Feb. 22–27 in Los Angeles.
Product contact information on the award winners is available at www.lightwaveonline.com.The portable FiberStrip 7035 semi-automatic fiber ribbon stripper is used in production environments or during the installation of cable systems with fiber ribbons. The unit serves as a companion to cleaving and splicing devices for standard and high-strength applications. It has a motorized stripping stroke that allows repeatable processes to be documented, completely eliminating operator variability. Acceleration and speed are controlled by the stripping stroke to provide consistent results. The stripper also has closed loop temperature control that ensures repeatable stripping quality. The light 1.5-lb machine can accept most common fusion-splicer fiber holders.
