Inside Your Choice for building Active Optical Cables

The mess of Copper cables

Fiber Optics Background This Corning promotional video shows how multimode and single-mode fiber is made. It goes through the whole process. Duration of video in minutes 9:48 PLEASE WATCH from minute 5:00 to 8:00 for introduction to single or multi-mode fiber

Fiber Optics Termination Duration in minutes 8:32 This Giganet instructional video shows the complexity of fiber cabling termination. How to build connectors. Can stop any time after 5:00 minutes Duration in minutes 8:52 This commercial video also shows how to build an optical fiber connector. It shows the “old style” vs new “fast” connectors. Please start at 1:57, ends at 7:00

USB 3.0 Future Until recently Ethernet dominated the LAN (Local Area Networks) and USB is dominating the peripherals interconnect for many years. Started with USB Mbps, USB Mbps, USB Mbps, USB ,000Mbps. USB is supported by all Electronics products in the market. USB deliver both Power and Communication over the same cable. USB 1.0 and 2.0 were limited to few meters. But USB 3.0 standard is no longer distance limited which makes it superior over Ethernet. Therefore position the USB as the dominating interface in the years to come. Conclusion 1)USB 3.0 and it successors will dominate the interconnect. 2)5Gbps and higher bandwidth require optical fibers for distances more then few meters. (Optical Fiber are cheaper then Copper for more then few meters applications) 3)Current Optical cables are using multimode fibers which are more easy to assemble but suffer from poor performance with bandwidth/Distance increase. OTX focused on attaching Single mode fiber to laser diodes and Detectors Therefore provide for the same price better performance and functionality then Multimode Active Optical Fiber.

Intellectual Property We hold a world wide approved patent of the uROSA/uTOSA architecture (6 major markets. Europe, USA, China, Brasil, South Africa, Israel) We applied for one more of a new uROSA structure. Proprietary assembly process & Machines of uROSA/uTOSA. We have all the IP inhouse of the Hardware/Software/Mechanics of the machine and Process.

Execution Phase ( ) Engage with Chinese cable manufacturers and get final uOTR specification Recruit COO Build complete assembly line in Israel Expand offer to more Chinese manufacturers Recruit CEO Build the first technical support sites (China, S.Korea, Taiwan) Start Shipping worldwide

Strategy Manufacture uROSA/uTOSA in Israel Technical Sales in cables assembly markets : China, South Korea, Taiwan. Strategic Partners : Cable manufacturer, Components Distributors, Consumer Vendors (LG, Samsung, Apple …)

History OTX has had 3 historical phases: 1) R&D of the Assembly machine. 2) Industrialization of the machine & focusing on Active Optical Cables (not modules). Last equity fund raising round was supposed to move us to sales took longer than we anticipated and therefore to stretch the funds we: 3) Shrink back to R&D team only and simplified the uOTR to enable simple Active Optical Cable assembly.
