Cable assemblies are used in controlled and relatively stable environments such as wireless, FTTx, data centers, switch centers and CATV applications. They come in various shapes and sizes, and primarily serve the purpose of shielding the interior fibers and cables from heat, friction, moisture, abrasion, compression and other hazards. Our main products in this category include CPRI cable assemblies, patch cords, MPO & MPO modules and copper cable assemblies. These products are easy to handle as they operate in a plug-and-play fashion and can be easily disconnected and reconfigured as and when required.

CPRI Assemblies

Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI) is an industry cooperation aimed at defining a publicly available specification for the key internal interface of radio base stations between the Radio Equipment Control (REC) and the Radio Equipment (RE). In other words, the CPRI specification provides the physical (L1) and data link layer (L2) details for the transport of digitized radio information between REC and RE. Thus, CPRI specification enables flexible and efficient product differentiation for radio base stations and independent technology evolution for Radio Equipment (RE) and Radio Equipment Control (REC)
