Megladon Announces Bit Error Rate Certified 10GIG HLC® Fiber Assemblies
Austin, Texas, October 8, 2010 - Megladon Manufacturing Group announced
today the release of Bit Error Rate Tested and certified 10GIG HLC fiber
patch cables. This product line ships with an eye diagram and Bit Error
Rate test data which enables the installer to deploy with confidence.
As the migration to 10GIG continues in fiber optic networks, many
installers and maintenance personnel are challenged when they realize a
percentage of the Laser Optimized fiber optic patch cables ordered
either have a high bit error rate when mated or develop intermittent
issues in a short period of time. What is not known is those products
sold as "10GIG patch cables" are not bit error rate tested using an
actual 10GIG signal. Instead, the standard insertion loss performance is
considered the pass/fail criteria. This does not guarantee an acceptable
bit error rate.
Megladon's HLC SCRATCHGUARD® connection technology has been known for
a decade for its durability and repeatable performance. It is a one of a
kind product that enables business critical applications to operate with
minimal connectivity issues. The repeatability of the Hardened Lens and
its properties also allows Megladon to bit error rate test and certify
the terminated product with an extremely high first pass yield.
"The market has been taught that any multimode fiber patch cable with an
aqua jacket will perform in a 10GIG system. The truth is the glass is
designed for such a system but the finished patch cable has not been
tested with a bit error rate tester. We have not found one manufacturer
that will provide bit error rate data with the product. That changed
today" said John Culbert, President of Megladon.
Megladon® Manufacturing Group Ltd., a subsidiary of TyRex Group
Ltd.®, is recognized as a leader in the fiber optic marketplace.
Founded in 1997, Megladon made it their mission to provide customers
with fiber optic products that far exceed industry standards minimizing
installation time and maintenance cost. As technology innovators,
Megladon created the HLC® (Hardened Lens Contact) connection, which
has changed the market and taken it to the next level. For additional

Megladon® Announces Node Tails with HLC® SCRATCHGUARD® Terminations Are Sold Exclusively Through Draka Communications
Austin, Texas, October 27, 2009 - Megladon Manufacturing Group announced
an exclusive agreement with Draka Communications to private label
BendBrightXS node tails with HLC SCRATCHGUARD terminations. Integrating
the HLC connector mating surface with Draka's bend insensitive glass has
provided the fiber optic market with a superior product that minimizes
insertion loss, optical return loss and bend loss.
With the growing video on demand and streaming video content on the web,
a need arises for high quality fiber optic products capable of
withstanding this trend. Industry leaders and providers are having to
transition into a more competent network infrastructure to conform to
the now industry standard of high performance fiber optic networks.
Megladon's SM APC HLC SCRATCHGUARD fiber optic terminations are ideally
equipped for network installers that are utilizing high speed video
networks. The HLC technology provides mating surface durability and low
loss; paired with an Angle Polish Connector we now have a product that
significantly reduces reflection, cutting down on interruptions in any
given network.
"Since partnering with Megladon to offer scratch-resistant HLC
technology in our CATV node cables last year, Draka has secured several
key CATV accounts including several top MSO's. The technological
superiority of this optical endface coupled with BendBright-XS bend
insensitive fiber has generated significant inquiries about Draka's
advanced node cable assemblies for today's rigorous communications
environments", said Greg Williams, Marketing Director, Draka Public
Networks.
"We are excited about our relationship with Draka Communications. They
have used existing customer relationships to promote the HLC technology
and secured corporate approval of the node tail product with major MSOs.
In response to their focused effort, Megladon has agreed to exclusively
terminate HLC node tails for Draka to market," said John Culbert,
President of Megladon.
