Miniaturized Modular Fiber Optic/Copper Hybrid Circular Connector

nanoPrecision Products (nPP) proposes development of a new family of miniature hybrid fiber optic/electrical connectors for Navy and commercial applications by utilizing a proprietary nano-scale metal stamping process which can achieve nanometer scale tolerances with high repeatability and very low cost. This process can manufacture revolutionary low cost, high density metal termini transmission solutions for either fiber optic or electrical signals. Moving away from traditional, off-shore sourced, ceramic fiber optic termini enables a change in fiber optic termini design rules toward more compact fiber optic termini form factors. nanoPrecision Products is pioneering the development of a nano-precision stamping process for metal components with a goal of ± 100 nm form tolerances by combining deterministic micro-grinding (DMG) with computerized modeling, metrology, and optimization of fundamental process materials and mechanics – no such capability exists today.
