High Power Assemblies

The HighPower Concept

HighPower Assemblies are HUBER+SUHNER’s answer to the ever-increasing transmission requirements of high-performance networks. Amplifiers used in DWDM applications easily reach power levels of 1 Watt and more. 1 Watt or 30 dBm of optical power concentrated in a fiber core of 10 µm correspond to 1.3 MW/cm² power density.

Such high values implicate rigorous demands on connector technology in terms of reliable operation and safety requirements, as high power creates the risk of eye damage and tissue burns.
