Raleigh, NC - April 19, 2010
M2 Optics Inc., a leading provider of unique fiber optic solutions for test and measurement, announced the addition of a new line of products designed to monitor fiber optic networks. Manufactured by FiSEC GmbH, the Fiber Monitor offers real-time alerts of any data transmission issues using innovative COTDR technology. While offering basic alerts to complete network management, the solution is both affordable and easy to install and maintain, making it an ideal solution for a wide range of customers.
With the amount of information being sent via fiber optic networks on the rise, there are many benefits a solution like this can offer. Intrusion detection is a key concern of many organizations sending sensitive data, including government agencies and financial institutions. In addition, if a line is accidentally cut or there is a break, interruption to the data transfer can put a business at serious risk. The Fiber Monitor will detect any of these types of interruptions, while alerting the user in real-time so that service teams can be quickly deployed. Already being utilized by some of the world's largest financial organizations, government agencies, and data centers, this solution is proven to add value to IT operations.
"We are excited to partner with FiSEC in offering this solution to customers in the United States," states Kevin Miller, VP of Sales & Marketing. "The Fiber Monitor is an affordable solution for businesses that want to ensure their fiber optic networks are both protected and running smoothly at all times. With an increasing emphasis on data privacy, the Fiber Monitor is an easy addition to any company seeking to minimize data transfer issues and risks."

February 16, 2010 (Raleigh, NC) - M2 Optics Inc., a leading provider of packaged optical fiber for test and measurement, announced the release today of a new product for short length applications. The OTDR Sidekick is a compact, rugged test box useful to engineers and technicians maintaining fiber optic networks, as well as anyone requiring a short length of fiber (up to 1km) for testing procedures.
The Sidekick will be used primarily as a "launch box" or "pulse suppressor", which eliminates blind spots at the beginning of a fiber cable when testing using an Optical Time-Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) instrument. In addition to this application, the Sidekick can also serve as a fiber optic delay line, or useful for training & education.
"To this point, our packaged fiber solutions have all been better suited for medium to long distance testing applications," said Kevin Miller, Director of Marketing for M2 Optics. "With the addition of the Sidekick, we now cover the entire spectrum of fiber needs our customers may have."
