EU VECTOR initiative targets new field- installable fiber-optic connectors

摘要

A seven-member team of companies and academic institutions has launched the "Versatile Easy installable Connector implementing new Technologies for accelerated fiber Optic network Roll-outs in Europe" (VECTOR) program. The VECTOR group, funded through the European Union's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7), aims to develop a new field-installable fiber-optic connector system. The system will include both a fiber-optic connector and an installation tool.
