Radiall Licenses Amphenol as Second Source for R2CT Connection Kit

Kit provides environmental and mechanical protection of cable-to-transceiver interface for wireless base station applications.

2011-02-08

CHANDLER, AZ, February 08, 2011 (Press-News.org) Radiall and Amphenol are pleased to announce that Amphenol is now a licensed second source for Radiall R2CT connection kits. As a second source, Amphenol will manufacture and market the connectors.

R2CT connection kit provides a waterproof, sealed connection for fiber-to-the-antenna (FTTA), remote radio head equipment, and similar outdoor applications where a protected interface is needed. The field-installable kit provides low-cost sealing at the transceiver-to-cable interface and ensures robust mechanical and environmental performance.

The kit is designed for optical systems using SFP transceivers and duplex LC-terminated fiber-optic cable, but can also be used with copper systems. The kit can be reused, allowing cables and transceivers to be changed in the field, including front-panel swapping of transceivers. The kits can also be assembled over existing cables.

"We welcome Amphenol as a second source for the R2CT product line," says Marnix van der Mee, Business Development Manager for Multipin and Fiber Optic Products at Radiall. "The innovative system makes the installation and maintenance of FTTA applications faster and easier. With Amphenol as a certified second source, we can help extend the global acceptance of this new system."

"We are pleased to be able to offer R2CT products," says Terry Basehore, Director of Business Development at Amphenol Fiber Optic Products. "The convenience offered by this line for achieving cost reductions and higher reliability in telecommunications towers should make it an important innovation in the market."

Phoenix Industries: There's No Gambling with Road Quality in Las Vegas

2011-02-08

The Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) recently announced they will be paving a major section of Interstate 15 (I-15) with a rubber paving material. This material, Asphalt-Rubber (AR), or Rubberized Asphalt as it's sometimes called, is a hot mix paving material that utilizes a recycled product called crumb rubber that is made from waste car and truck tires. The section to utilize the rubber paving material is a high-profile area consisting of both the north- and south-bound lanes of I-15, from the I-95 interchange to Russell Road that parallels the Las Vegas ...

DNA engine observed in real-time traveling along base pair track

2011-02-07

Kyoto, Japan -- In a complex feat of nanoengineering, a team of scientists at Kyoto University and the University of Oxford have succeeded in creating a programable molecular transport system, the workings of which can be observed in real time. The results, appearing in the latest issue of Nature Nanotechnology, open the door to the development of advanced drug delivery methods and molecular manufacturing systems. Resembling a monorail train, the system relies on the self-assembly properties of DNA origami and consists of a 100 nm track together with a motor and fuel. ...

Pollutants in aquifers may threaten future of Mexico's fast-growing 'Riviera Maya'

2011-02-07

Pharmaceuticals, illicit drugs, shampoo, toothpaste, pesticides, chemical run-off from highways and many other pollutants infiltrate the giant aquifer under Mexico's "Riviera Maya," research shows. The wastes contaminate a vast labyrinth of water-filled caves under the popular tourist destination on the Yucatan Peninsula. The polluted water flows through the caves and into the Caribbean Sea. Land-sourced pollution may have contributed, along with overfishing, coral diseases, and climate change, to the loss since 1990 of up to 50% of corals on the reefs off the region's ...

Tropical Atlantic sees weaker trade winds and more rainfall

2011-02-07

Earth's global temperature has been rising gradually over the last decades, but the warming has not been the same everywhere. Scientists are therefore trying to pin down how the warming has affected regional climates because that is what really matters to people, and to adaptation and mitigation strategies. Their efforts, however, had hit a roadblock because the necessary observations of the winds over the oceans were biased. Developing a new method to remove the bias, Hiroki Tokinaga and Shang-Ping Xie at the International Pacific Research Center, University of Hawaii ...

Engineers grow nanolasers on silicon, pave way for on-chip photonics

2011-02-07

Berkeley – Engineers at the University of California, Berkeley, have found a way to grow nanolasers directly onto a silicon surface, an achievement that could lead to a new class of faster, more efficient microprocessors, as well as to powerful biochemical sensors that use optoelectronic chips. They describe their work in a paper to be published Feb. 6 in an advanced online issue of the journal Nature Photonics. "Our results impact a broad spectrum of scientific fields, including materials science, transistor technology, laser science, optoelectronics and optical ...

Rural underage binge drinkers put their health at risk

2011-02-07

Binge drinking is often considered to be a problem of towns and cities but new research published in BioMed Central's open access journal BMC Public Health shows that binge drinking in rural areas is more of a problem than previously thought. Dr Carolin Donath, from the Psychiatric University Clinic Erlangen, looked at the drinking patterns of over 44,000 15 and 16 year olds in Germany and found that more than 93% of the young people from the countryside and over 86% of those from urban areas had tried alcohol. Of the adolescents who had drunk alcohol in the last month, ...

Chocolate is a 'super fruit'

2011-02-07

It is widely known that fruit contains antioxidants which may be beneficial to health. New research published in the open access journal Chemistry Central Journal demonstrates that chocolate is a rich source of antioxidants and contains more polyphenols and flavanols than fruit juice. When researchers at the Hershey Center for Health & Nutrition™ compared the antioxidant activity in cocoa powder and fruit powders they found that, gram per gram, there was more antioxidant capacity, and a greater total flavanol content, in the cocoa powder. Similarly when they compared ...

Recognizing gibbons from their regional accents

2011-02-07

Crested gibbons (genus Nomascus) live in dense Asian rainforest, specifically in China, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam, and, because of their environment, they communicate with other gibbons by singing. Both males and females sing in order to define territory and find a mate, and couples also sing duets to strengthen their pair bonding. New research published in BioMed Central's open access journal BMC Evolutionary Biology describes how gibbon song can be used to identify not only which species of Gibbon is singing but the area it is from. Researchers from the German Primate ...

Pivotal discoveries in age-related macular degeneration

2011-02-07

A team of researchers, led by University of Kentucky ophthalmologist Dr. Jayakrishna Ambati, has discovered a molecular mechanism implicated in geographic atrophy, the major cause of untreatable blindness in the industrialized world. Their article, "DICER1 Deficit Induces Alu RNA Toxicity in Age-Related Macular Degeneration," was published online by the journal Nature on Feb. 6 (DOI: 10.1038/nature09830). Concurrent with this discovery, Ambati's laboratory developed two promising therapies for the prevention of the condition. This study also elaborates, for the first ...
