L-com Releases SN and CS Fiber Optic Adapters and Connectors

Leave a comment


L-com’s new retrofittable SN adapters are the ideal choice for cabling providers or equipment manufacturers wanting to upgrade their existing systems to SN® hyper-density without redesigning new panels or hardware. Each adapter will double the density of many existing SC/LC-based hardware and thus reduce the total cost per port of the overall system. Operators can benefit from much-reduced rack consumption and improve their rack-unit revenue efficiency. Choose single-channel (two fibers), dual-channel (four-fibers), or quad channel (eight fibers).

Applications for the new SN adapters include upgrading fiber management hardware from SC/LC to SN, improving rack-space utilization in Brownfield data centers, making high-density centralized cross-connects and patch panels, and combining different connector types in mixed fiber panels.

The new CS adapters have built-in automatic shutters that prevent any ingress of contamination, which is a leading cause of network failure. With the help of a visible light source through the adapter sleeve, these devices make traceability of the adapter effortless. They are offered in single-channel (two fibers), dual-channel (four fibers), triple-channel (six fibers), or quad-channel (eight fibers). Applications include data centers, onboard optics, medical, wireless, quantum computing, and FTTH.

L-com’s new SN connectors are designed for next-generation data rates and allow network operators to densify their existing legacy infrastructure while providing an upgrade path to 400G and beyond. The connectors are suitable for termination to 1.6 mm or 2 mm round cable with a ruggedized jacket and internal strain relief. They have an integrated push-pull boot that simplifies insertion and removal of the connector even in dense patch panels with limited finger access.

Applications for the new SN connectors include: high-density patching; QSFP-DD, OSFP, and SFP-DD transceiver links for higher data rates; hybrid Base-2 cable assemblies combining SN and other duplex connector types; and hyperscale, edge, enterprise and colocation data centers.

The CS connectors are a part of the new VSFF (very small form factor) Series, which is designed for high-density data centers and OSFP/QSFP-DD break-out applications. Compared to the LC duplex, the CS connector provides a 40% size reduction and enables you to double the density in patch panels. They offer more room for cable management as well as better airflow within a rack. They come with a 2 mm or 3 mm boot and an integrated push-pull tab. This UPC polished, single-mode fiber optic connector has two ferrules in a single housing.

“We aim to help our customers improve their fiber optic connectivity with our new SN and CS adapters and connectors,” said Product Line Manager Paul Hospodar. “These product lines enable higher density installations without the need for more space or having to redesign panels or hardware.”

L-com’s new SN adapters, CS adapters, SN connectors and CS connectors are in stock now and available for immediate shipment.

CSG Provides a Forward Permanent Loan Commitment to The Benjamin O. Davis Veterans Village Community which will Provide Affordable Housing to Veterans and Disabled Individuals

CLEARWATER, Fla., Nov. 9, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Churchill Stateside Group, LLC (CSG), a real estate and renewable energy financial services company, is pleased to announce the closing and groundbreaking of Benjamin O. Davis Veterans Village, a new affordable housing construction development in Detroit, Michigan. Benjamin O. Davis will provide essential affordable housing and supportive services for both homeless veterans and residents with disabilities. Churchill provided an unfunded forward permanent loan commitment totaling $3,145,000, via Churchill’s Forward Permanent Loan program. Benjamin O. Davis Veterans Village will provide 50 one-bedroom apartments. Half of these units will be dedicated to permanent supportive housing for individuals experiencing chronic homelessness, with a specific emphasis on assisting veterans. The remaining 25 units will be available for residents with disabilities. To ensure accessibility for all, project-based vouchers from the Michigan State Housing Development Authority and the Detroit Housing Commission will guarantee that each resident pays no more than 30% of their monthly income towards rent.

Benjamin O. Davis Veterans Village is the outcome of a partnership between leaders in affordable housing, behavioral health, and veteran healthcare. Residents will have access to an array of resources, including therapeutic services, nursing services, substance abuse assistance, adult case management, hospital liaison services, mental health services, and employment services. In 2021, approximately 1,120 individuals in the Detroit Continuum of Care were identified as part of the chronically homeless population. This classification applies to individuals who have received a long-term disabling diagnosis and have experienced homelessness four or more times within the past three years, or have been continuously homeless for a year due to a disabling condition.

Dan Duda, Senior Vice President and National Director of Originations and Acquisitions for CSG, said, “Churchill Mortgage Investment is excited to provide an unfunded forward commitment of a $3,145,000 permanent loan on Benjamin O. Davis Veteran Village. The vision of RAD Conversion Specialists LLC, Communities of Hope, and Central City Health, to help end veteran homelessness, is outstanding and much needed in the community. We are very thankful to be a financing partner and looking forward to successful construction of the community.”

The development will boast an array of fantastic unit amenities, such as walk-in closets, dishwashers, central air conditioning, intercoms, and self-cleaning ovens. Building amenities will include an interior camera system, administrative office, two 100-square-foot supportive service offices, an elevator, five units accessible to individuals with physical disabilities, a spacious 1,300 square foot accessible community room, a dining room, a kitchen, a resident lounge, a barber/beauty shop, an exercise room, and both an indoor bike rack and an outdoor patio. Construction for Benjamin O. Davis Veterans Village is already underway, with lease-up anticipated to occur by August 2025.

Keith Gloeckl, Chief Executive Officer of CSG, added, “The Benjamin O. Davis multifamily affordable housing complex is a much-needed facility serving veterans and homeless in the Detroit area. Churchill and our capital partners are pleased to be able to provide financing for this critical need of housing for veterans with long-term health needs. This project honors Benjamin O. Davis JR., who was commander of the World War II Tuskegee Airman and the first African American to become a general in the US Air Force.”

The project addresses the need for a permanent, regenerative treatment in the global $6.7 billion USD dermal/soft tissue filler market. Today’s solutions are temporary and require expensive regularly scheduled medical treatments. The allograft adipose matrix dermal filler developed through the Cornell University CAT holds the promise to be a tremendous improvement in the standard of care and a reduction in cost to the healthcare system.

“We are thrilled to collaborate with Dr. Spector on this exciting project,” said Tony Eisenhut, CEO of NovaSterilis. “Our combined efforts have the potential to make a significant impact in regenerative medicine, ultimately benefiting patients and reducing costs associated with multiple treatments.”

To fulfill this engagement, NovaSterilis engaged two commercial partners in the project: Alamo Biologics (San Antonio TX) and Australian Biotechnologies (Sydney Australia) will provide manufacturing, distribution, and marketing insights, as well as years of clinician feedback on the project. These partners have over 50 years of combined experience using the scCO2 technology platform across multiple markets, including healthcare, tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and medical device sterilization. This commercial experience coupled with the clinical and translational research knowledge of Dr. Spector will be central to the development of an integrated process that creates a structurally stable, decellularized allograft adipose matrix with preserved endogenous growth factors.

“NovaSterilis has partnered with some of the best clinical and manufacturing teams in the industry to fulfill our goal of providing scCO2 technologies that meet or exceed the highest standards for product safety and performance,” Eisenhut added.

Leave a comment


“Code Ocean’s cloud-native platform for collaborative and trusted science guarantees reproducibility, automates access to tools and data, and speeds up discovery,” said Simon Adar, Co-founder and CEO, Code Ocean. “The platform brings together decision-makers, research IT, coding, and domain scientists in one collaborative space, and integrates with the existing software stack and infrastructure. It offers an important advantage to biotechs and pharma — it automatically traces the path of research data, mapping each step in a detailed lineage graph. Code Ocean’s provenance tracking provides full knowledge of the path the various science teams took during discovery, making each stage of computation fully reproducible with a single click.”

The mission of the annual BioTech Breakthrough Awards program is to honor excellence and recognize the creativity, hard work and success of companies, technologies and products within the field of biotechnology. The Biotech Breakthrough Awards aims to perform the most comprehensive evaluation of life sciences and biotechnology tools, services and companies today, with nominations coming in from the best and brightest biotechnology innovators around the world across a broad set of categories, including BioPharma, Genomics, Therapeutics, Immunology, BioAgriculture, BioIndustrial, Data & Analytics.

Code Ocean is a cloud-native research data and computing hub that serves all computational methods, including interactive analysis. By centralizing research data on a central platform for organizing the computational stage, Code Ocean unifies disparate groups, shares data and knowledge, and ensures the implementation of best practices. Code Ocean’s centralized platform tracks the path of research from raw data to results, boosting productivity for researchers and enabling them to focus on the science with a provable path. Code Ocean’s automated research platform guarantees the traceability and reproducibility of any result so scientific discoveries can be completely trusted by decision makers. It provides visibility for IT/VP level managers to clearly see the progress, and for C-level approvers, to understand how conclusions were reached.

“Code Ocean organizes the creative chaos inherent in computational science by providing one end-to-end platform for data and computational research in the wet and dry lab,” said Ram Dayan, Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer, of Code Ocean. “Our platform offers automation of best practices for data computation through an open platform with no vendor lock-in, meaning that it works with any Open Source language, API, data visualization tool, cloud computing/data source, computational package, and interactive development environment. Our Capsules offer exportable access to all levels of code and data, so all software, results, or methods are fully available outside Code Ocean.”
