Top 40 Innovation: Single-circut, Single-element Fiber Management Systems

Fiber management modules (OTIAN, which became FIST in 1997) that became key building blocks of the network elements for an optical access network. It is a management system that allows a customer-based fiber separation level (SOSA with single circuit or single element splice trays) and modules (SASA) with passive optical power splitters for PON networks. Became the global leader in products with ‘positive fiber management’ and gained expertise in optical components (connectors, splitters, WDM). Strong influence in international standard bodies like IEC, ITU-T and Cenelec. Author of many published standards. A later innovation, Low Attentuation Interconnects, enabled CommScope to be a leader in fiber with high performance, ready for the future in all areas of the network. www.commscope.com/top-40-innovations/
