Optical time delays, also known simply as delay lines, are a critical component in today's advanced fiber optic communications networks and test laboratories. When requiring optical time delays in the data center or network environment, or in the test laboratory for latency-driven applications, the Fiber Lab portfolio from M2 Optics offers highly precise fiber optics time delays through an array of efficient and professional packaging formats.
Optical Time Delays in Network/Data Center Environments
For network and data center engineering teams, optical time delays are absolutely necessary for applications that include
- Signal timing and equalization across multiple fibers/links
- System synchronization
- Altering service speeds
Optical Time Delays in the Lab Environment
For test engineers in the lab, optical time delays are required to:
- Accurately simulate expected delays in a field network
- R&D and certification testing of the latency of devices and systems
With Fiber Lab, time delays can be simulated in nanoseconds, microsecinds, or millisecond increments for an application in the data center or lab. Around the world, Fiber Lab is the trusted choice for time delays that require maximum performance and hassle-free deployment. By supplying custom fiber platforms that allow the user to choose their fiber, time delay values, and enclosure type, M2 ensures that each user receives the perfect solution for their individual needs.
M2 offers both rack mount fiber and portable time delay options. Start designing your custom solution today.
