Optical Time Delay Solutions

Optical time delays, also known as fiber delay lines, are essential for signal timing and other latency-driven applications in today's advanced fiber optic networks and data centers. The Fiber Lab portfolio from M2 Optics offers customized, high-precision delays available in a range of rack-mount and portable enclosure solutions that deliver maximum space efficiency for easy installation and connectivity. 

Precision Optical Time Delays for Latency & Timing Applications

	High-Density Optical Time Delays 144 sub-nanosecond delays in 3RU (patent-pending) Quickly add or modify link equalization and system timing changes Ideal for data centers, HFT / financial trading, and high fiber counts
	Rack-mount; Long Time Delays 3RU and 6RU chassis for longer delays (ex: 4x400us) Pre-built and modular rack setup styles Equalize long-haul links coming into a data center facility
	Rack-mount; Short / Medium Time Delays 1RU and 3RU chassis for shorter delays (ex: 24x1.5us or 2x50us) Pre-built and modular rack setup styles Saves significant rack space while simplifying deployment
	Portable and Modular Time Delays Fiber delays in portable and handheld modules Any/all delay values up to 300us per unit Designed for test setups, system demos, and in-system/device integration
	Dispersion Compensated Time Delays Integrated SMF and DCF to specific delay values for RF over Fiber (RFoF)

Networks & Data Center Fiber Delay Applications

For network and data center engineering teams, Fiber Lab is ideal for:

• Signal timing and link equalization across multiple fibers
• System and device synchronization
• Altering service performance speeds
• Meeting SLAs and industry standards (MiFID)

Test Lab Fiber Delay Applications

For test engineers in the lab, Fiber Lab is ideal for:

• Accurately simulating expected delays in a field network or between sites
• R&D and certification testing of network devices during design and pre-deployment phases
