Technologies o: Fiber Optics Overview - Impact Mount™ Technology, HeptoPort™, IMT Laser Pigtails
OVERVIEW
The foundation of Valdor's innovative product line is IMPACT MOUNT™ TECHNOLOGY.
IMT is used in the design and manufacturing of Valdor's all-metal-epoxyless
field termination connectors, mechanical splices, and installation kits.

Valdor Connectors & Enclosures: GREEN TECHNOLOGY
Valdor's product line - suitable for
harsh environment and
quick field installation -
is also remarkably environmentally friendly:
- no epoxy / gel used
- no hazardous fumes
- no electricity needed for installation (unlike hot melt solutions)
- as seen in
Nevada Mining magazine (page 7)
IMPACT MOUNT™
IMT is a radial compression fit of a ductile metal around a cylindrical glass surface. The need to metallize optical fiber is
eliminated by Impact Mount™ Technology (IMT).
The IMT is a unique, patented design that assures reliable terminations time after time by securing the
glass fiber within the metal ferrule. Attachment of metal ferrules to the fiber(s) occurs in one fast mechanical action. This action, called the impact,
occurs between the stripped fiber and the ferrule using a precision impact mount die. For a single fiber operation, the result easily creates a hermetic
seal between the fiber and the ferrule.

IMT LASER PIGTAILS
Suitable for high power application, Valdor IMT Laser Pigtail technology provides hermetic seal without metallization and heat dissipation through metal
ferrule as a few of the wide range of benefits resulting from the applications of IMT.
