QPC Fiber Optic, Inc. announced that it will be attending the 2010 NAB Show (National Association of Broadcasters) in Las Vegas, Nevada.  QPC will be participating as an exhibitor from April 12 to April 15, at Booth Number C8610.  At the show, QPC will present an array of new products specially developed for Broadcast applications around the world.  “The NAB Show has become an increasingly important event for us” said President Regina Schroeder.  “As the capabilities of audio and video technology increase, so does the need to send larger and clearer signals.  Fiber optic technology, with its ability to deliver digital, high-bandwidth, and low signal loss data streams has obvious advantages in meeting this demand.  Our rugged, multi-channel connector systems such as those of our E-Link family combined with the BRUcast Broadcast Cable are a practical, reliable, and easy way to use fiber in the field and in the studio.  We look forward to seeing our colleagues in the industry at the show.”

QPC’s E-Link™ connector is a compact rugged multi-channel connector system designed for demanding applications. The E-Link™ uses proven design concepts from MIL-C-38999 and MIL-PRF-83526 series connectors making it perfect for dynamic harsh environments. These concepts, combined with an innovative and rugged shell design, make the E-Link™ the ideal choice. The connector is completely sealed against water and environmental conditions. The unique hard anodized backshell assures that termini are isolated from dynamic stress. QPC uses a high performance 2.5mm termini and a split ceramic alignment sleeve to assure superior performance, even under high shock and vibration.

The Stinger has a long history and originally comes from the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, “Like a stinger on a bee, our idea was to have its stinger pulled awayfrom the fiber optic cable if the control box was hit.” says ITS salesman Jim Duke.

QPC’s Stinger is also designed to be an alternative toproblems associated with other patch panels currently onthe market. “While traveling the US, I ran into a lot of cities,counties and states that didn't like things about their existingsystems.” says Duke which led to the development of QPC’s Stinger system.

This competitive product features the ability to makeadjustments and repairs too. You measured twice, cut onceand it is still too short? No problem. The Stinger can adjustslightly to your cable’s length. Also with the Stinger, you’ll have the ability to re-enter the system while other patchpanels can be filled with an epoxy.

Currently, the QPC Stinger allows underground cables to be terminated in a rugged, compact, flexible and cost effective system. The Stinger Cable Termination System consists of interchangeable modules that are available in a variety of connection methods and can beadapted for applications including ITS Systems, Data Centers, CATV, FTTH and many more.

Adapter modules are available with LC, SC, ST, FC or MTP adapters in Singlemode or Multimode. The cable input module can besupplied with or without a splice tray. The enhanced cable strain relief and second cable entry port make the Stinger very flexible andexpandable. Further, it can be supplied pre-configured or as field upgradeable components.

Mounting options include a DIN rail system for fast rugged assembly with trouble free operation. It is versatile and has a long service life.Screw mounts are available for maximum flexibility.Features & Benefits:    

• Stinger modules snap together and allow systems to be assembled complete or customized in the field
• Stinger Module Systems can be purchased as finished assemblies with any length of fiber or as individual components for field assembly
• The relatively small number of parts simplifies inventory and provides maximum flexibility
• Snap assembly makes field customizing and maintenance quick and simple#
• DIN rail mounting creates a rugged assembly with trouble free operation, versatility, and long service life
• Cost effective solution.
