AVX is Showcasing its Extensive Portfolio of Component Solutions for RF & Optical Communications at OFC 2020

Leading engineers from AVX & subsidiary American Technical Ceramics Corp. (ATC) will be on-site to promote an array of passive components optimized for RF & optical communications applications, including ultra-broadband & thin-film capacitors & resistors, thermal conductors, attenuators, & inductors

FOUNTAIN INN, S.C., March 02, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AVX Corporation, a leading manufacturer and supplier of advanced electronic components and interconnect, sensor, control, and antenna solutions, is showcasing an extensive range of passive component solutions for RF and optical communications applications at the 2020 Optical Fiber Communication Conference and Exhibition (OFC), which will take place March 8–12 in San Diego, California.

Globally recognized as the leading international trade show for optical communications and networking professionals, OFC highlights the latest research, technologies, trends, and product solutions in data centers, network equipment and software, testing and manufacturing equipment, active and passive components, cable, fiber, and various other segments of the RF and optical communications industry. OFC 2020 features a comprehensive conference program replete with five full days of enriching technical sessions, workshops, exhibition, and special events and is expected to welcome more than 180 speakers, 700 exhibitors, and 15,000 attendees from 70 countries.

The AVX exhibit at OFC 2020 will focus on advanced passive component solutions engineered for evolving RF and optical networking and communications applications including next-generation data centers, 5G infrastructure, edge computing, smart cities, and V2X communication. Leading engineers from AVX and its subsidiary American Technical Ceramics Corp. (ATC) will be on-site to introduce attendees to the unique features and benefits of an array of high-performance ceramic, thin-film, and specialty components ranging from ultra-broadband and thin-film capacitors and resistors to thermal conductors, attenuators, and inductors.

Ceramic component highlights include the ruggedly constructed, ultraminiature (0402/1005) UBR Series ultra-broadband resistors, which feature a 125mW power rating, a wider frequency range than competing products, and AVX’s proprietary FLEXITERM surface-mount technology (SMT) and provide optimal power, frequency, mechanical flexure, and temperature cycling performance in optoelectronic, broadband, automotive, telecom, and satellite communications applications. Its range of high-frequency, high-performance single-layer ceramic (SLC) capacitors for broadband applications, which are available with or without borders and with dielectric constants ranging from 14 (NP0) to more than 30,000 (X7R), will also be on display.
