Timbercon has introduced new overmolding capabilities for a range of fiber optic cable components. The low-pressure overmolding technology utilizes a thermoplastic polyamide substance. Standard molds measure about 4x4x1.5 inches, while upcoming molds may measure about 6x4x2 inches. The Thermoplastic Polyamide comes in a wide range of colors and durometers.
Timbercon, Design Engineer, Brendan O'Dea, informed that the low-pressure overmolding capability can be utilized for connector boots, encapsulation, strain relief, breakout transitions and for other environmental needs. He added that this technology has enabled the company to offer sophisticated fiber optic cable components for a number of industries and applications. He further said that the company is looking forward to the potential needs of the clients to solve complex product designs.
