Business Wire
Nortech Systems Incorporated (Nasdaq: NSYS) (the “Company”) a
global leader in specialized design and manufacturing solutions for
complex electrical and electromedical components, announced this
week the launch of its newest active optical technology platform,
Active Optical Xtreme (AOX). AOX is a small form-factor hybrid
solution providing power, control and data transmission across
longer distances required for use in machine vision systems,
factory automation, robotics, and intelligent sensing devices.
- Hybrid fiber optic and copper USB-C cable solution delivers
power, control and data spanning longer cable lengths
- Improved bandwidth efficiency and data integrity compared to
typical multi-cable solutions
- Ideal for applications requiring lightweight, small footprint,
environmentally friendly, long-reach data-generating devices such
as image capture, vision and geo-aware imaging systems
Requires Fewer Cables, Less Panel and Processor Space
AOX is a hybrid design technology that integrates transceivers,
receivers and optical fiber within the cable to transmit
significantly more data than an equal number of copper cables.
“AOX delivers the power of traditional copper cables, plus the
high-quality data of fiber optics in a single cable,” said Jay D.
Miller, Nortech’s CEO. “Nortech’s AOX technology is highly
customizable and is designed to connect intelligent devices across
longer distances in demanding environments such as automated
factories.”
Designed to optimize power supply and data integrity across
longer distances, AOX provides a very flexible and resilient
spectrum of solutions. The embedded electronics are protected by
rugged and durable connector and backshell arrangements. This
single cable solution reduces design complexity and streamlines the
supply chain when compared with congested multi-cable
configurations.
Ideal for Customized, Complex Machine Vision
Applications
“Rapid growth in edge computing demands long-reach data and
power delivery. Our customers also understand the global ESG trend
that requires reduced risk in an environmentally sustainable supply
chain,” said Miller. “AOX is designed to help meet these challenges
by incorporating fiber optics with reductions in copper content.
Fiber requires far less energy to utilize throughout its lifecycle
and eliminates the mining processes associated with copper, while
offering significantly increased performance. Nortech is very
excited about the opportunities these innovations provide.”
AOX adoption will ramp up through 2022 and will not have a
material impact on Nortech's 2022 financial results. For
