3SAE Bursts Fiber

BOSTON -- 3SAE Technologies, Inc. introduces a new fiber stripping technology. Its patented new "Burst Technology" made its debut in the form of The AutoPrep- an automated fiber preparation unit at OFC 2002 in Anaheim,CA. The first of its kind to automate the delicate process for strip, clean and cleaving optical fibers. The process is completed in a remarkable 9 second cycle time. Burst technology is a breakthrough process for stripping and cleaning polymer coatings from an optical fiber. By directing a single high velocity "burst" directly at the fiber's coating, it is instantly stripped and perfectly cleaned without any damage occurring to the bare glass. By eliminating the need for alcohol, acid or any other combustible fluid to prepare a fiber, 3SAE has developed the fastest automated fiber preparation unit on the market today. 3SAE Technologies Inc.
