OMC have announced that its ProfiLED coloured LED backlights are available with a proprietary active backing layer that enables them to be viewed in much brighter ambient lighting conditions. This is especially relevant for makers of portable instrumentation which is used outdoors.

A range of ‘Spider’ fibre optic cable assemblies which can both split an optical signal from a single source into several outputs as well as combine multiple inputs onto a single output fibre has been introduced by OMC. This can be useful for sensor applications and precise triggering, among other applications.

  Suited for sensor applications and precise triggering, OMC offers a range of ‘Spider’ fibre optic cable assemblies which can split an optical signal from a single source into several outputs as well as combine multiple inputs onto a single output fibre.

OMC is re-introducing Tx/Rx pairs housed in the FDH1 SMA ‘top hat’ style housing to accommodate the larger diodes that are being specified by demanding applications, and also to withstand the harsh operating conditions that are commonly experienced by equipment used in military, industrial and other hi-rel sectors.

A flexible fibre optic Tx/Rx pair, which enables systems designers to develop links using polymer fibre, has been released by OMC. If the distances involved extend beyond the range of polymer, the H19 connector system can be used with glass fibre. This upgrade is easy, requiring minimal changes and using the same diodes. 

  To address challenging environment applications, a 1mm core polymer fibre optic cable with a reinforced jacket incorporating aramid tension members, has been released by OMC. Compared to standard polymer fibre, the cable provides more resistance to crush and abrasion. 

Fibre optic links, developed by OMC, are particularly suitable for industrial automation system designers adopting Smart Factory/Industry 4.0 working practices. To ensure that fibre-optic data links perform consistently and reliably from link to link, the company has developed active component alignment technology.

A range of metal optical transmitter/receiver devices, claimed to be low-cost, have been released by OMC. The H19 range, which is designed for use with polymer fibre systems, includes both single channel devices for use with simplex fibre and dual channel devices with duplex connectors facilitating transceiver operation.

OMC has launched the H22R6850G, a rugged, reliable receiver for multimode glass and polymer fibre systems and its corresponding transmitter, H22E6850G, both in the widely-preferred SMA package. The high-sensitivity H22R6850G is optimised for use with 850nm transmitters and provides a direct 0-5V digital output, allowing direct connection to digital circuitry.

A new coherent polymer fibre which enables high resolution remote imaging has been announced today by OMC. The bundle consists of thousands of individual polymer fibre cores which are arranged coherently at each end such that the image incident on one fibre face is visible on the other face.

OMC has introduced its ClearSource range of solid-state emitters that use a new die bonding technique to connect the LED chip electronically to the leadframe, eliminating ‘dark spots’ and improving beam precision.

OMC has announced the launch of its ProfiLED Lightbar product family, which reduce cost and offer an improved appearance, especially in low and medium volume applications.

OMC has launched its 550 series SPECTRALUX Light Engines targeting applications that require high levels of light output, such as rail signalling, runway lights or architectural spotlighting. SPECTRALUX Light Engines are arrays of highly efficient, tightly-matched LEDs. They are the preferred light source in a wide variety of luminaire applications because they enable lighting designers to quickly, reliably and easily take advantage of LED techno...

OMC, today announced a new version of their rugged, robust and high-brightness multi-angle LED light tube range which can be used to replace traditional light sources in hundreds of applications, saving power and lasting much longer than fluorescent products.

OMC have launched new light engines which offer very high luminous efficiencies of up to 30 per cent higher than alternatives currently available. 220-series SPECTRALUX light engines deliver up to 130lm/W and feature life expectancies of up to 40 years.

A high build-quality and very versatile range of flexible LED strips is available from OMC. Unlike many LED lighting strips which are designed for relatively short-term, decorative use, OMC’s Flexistrip™ product uses closely spaced, ultra high brightness LEDs and incorporate a number of unique features that ensure long-lasting, bright and even illumination. Strips can be cut to length with scissors and fixed in place using the pre-fit...

OMC can now offer bespoke backlights for LCDs based on a new emitter design that provides the brightness of a dual chip emitter but requires only the forward voltage of single chip solution. Therefore, for the first time, users can drive OMC’s white and blue Profiled Backlight range from a 5V source, which OMC say is becoming ever more desirable in modern applications.

OMC has introduced a range of Light Engines designed to simplify LED lighting design. SPECTRALUX light engines enable luminaire manufacturers and other lighting users to produce a vast range of products that deliver excellent illumination and have an extremely long life time at particularly high luminous efficiencies which in many cases exceed 100lm/W.

OMC can now deliver a full range of polymer fibre optic components and assemblies to ensure cost-effective, secure and interference-free data transmission. Ideally applicable in factories, machinery and other industrial applications over distances ranging from a metre to 50 metres, polymer fibre has not found the wide acceptance it might have done due to limited availability of high quality, versatile connectors and a general lack of expertise in...
