COMOSS announces the development of POF tester with OPTOKON

Taipei , Taiwan - May 29 , 2008 - Today, COMOSS announces it had reached an agreement with OPTOKON in developing the POF tester together, especially for its OptoLup™ POF cables. OptoLup™ cable ; a type of APF (All-plastic Fiber); both the core and the cladding are made of plastic while the refractive index of the core is higher than the cladding. When an optical ray is transmitted at an angle into the cable, the optical ray can be reflect back at the boundary between the core and the cladding for transmitting. One of the most important applications for OptoLup™ cable is for Optolock™ technology, the Fast Ethernet fiber optic plugless transceiver, an friendly use low-cost solution.

"As a leader in Optical tester manufacturing, OPTOKON is also concentrated on FTTH; Fiber To The Home; products development. ” says Comoss' CEO Stanley Tsai. " OPTOKON is the first strategic partner to develop the all- Optic transmitting platform. COMOSS will continue to work with some strategic partners to develop all of the necessary products to make the FTTX easier and applicable. ” With POF tester developed and manufactured, plugless technology will be easily accepted and widely used. OPTOKON offers variety models for POF tester. Says Dipl. Ing. Jiri Stefl, CEO of OPTOKON, “Combining Comoss' Plugless interconnecting technology and POF products development ability enables us to create vary functional-effective tester for the FTTH, consumer, industrial, and military fiber market."

About OPTOKON
OPTOKON, a European based technical center, was founded in January 1991. OPTOKON is also the primary fiber optic manufacturing division of Methode Electronics INC. in developing, manufacturing, and marketing fiber optic products at the leading edge of technology. In 1999, the OPTOKON calibration laboratory was founded. The laboratory is accredited under ISO 17025 (CAI reg. no.:K2315) for calibration of fiber optic test equipment.

HDMI V 1.3a

Taipei Taiwan - May 2, 2007
   We are glad to release a piece of surprising news today as our COMOSS HDMI series are complied with not only version 1.2 of the HDMI specification, but also version 1.3a of the HDMI specification from now on. With the release of version 1.3a of the HDMI specification in June 2006, higher display resolution formats were then added such as 1080P, deep color technology, audio/video synching capabilities, etc. Therefore, the bandwidth was increased up to 10.2 Gbps at 340 MHz. In November 2006, HDMI org. released version 1.3a. of the HDMI specification.An updated Compliance Test Specification (CTS V1.3a) document which includes new tests for the capabilities was defined in HDMI V1.3a.
    In fact, HDMI 1.3a specifications cover two categories. CAT1 is the same specifications for Comoss HDMI Cables that have already been tested and approved. Regarding CAT2, it supports a higher bandwidth along the cable and a clock frequency of up to 340 MHz. Our test report here is based on CAT2 HDMI cable & A type connector. It covers the cable assembly test of HDMI specification V1.3a and HDMI Compliance Test Specification V1.3a. (CTS V1.3a.) Unlike some companies may still stay in the satge of HDMI V1.2, Comoss has offered HDMI V1.3a to connect your digital life! We are ready to help end-users to build up home multimedia network! Come to take a look at our products as below:

 Application:  
• Supports high-definition video
• Plus multi-channel digital audio on a single cable
• Provides a digital audio and video interface between any source, such as aset-top box,DVD player, AV receiver and a digital television (DTV)

In CES07' Comoss is going to demonstrate all series of POF & electrical connectivity solutions!

Taipei Taiwan - December 27th, 2006

One of the demonstration is with the linkage of Buffalo's NAS (Network Attached Storage) and Note book, along with above POF & electrical connectivity, the leading role of our show can be SMI (Small Media Interface),which deliver POF signals to build up home network. The transmitting performance is going up to 100Mbpsat 50M long and we’ll set up an active network transmitting audio / video at the same time without frame loss!

The other demonstration is with the linkage of 1394 Sony DV camera and Note book, perfectly extend the transmitting distance up to 50M. With isochronous characteristic of 1394 standard, we can see real-time video stream without any frame loss played on the monitor. This firewire solution also allows end-users can access any CE devices such as iPod, DVD player or STB connected to 1394 Ethernet. And the dream of making the automotive as a multimedia moving center would easily to become truth.

Visitors can see these demonstrations at Comoss booth at the same time. And all of the demonstrating components : such as SMI & IDB POF connectors, SMI & IDB POF transceivers, POF patch cords, and converters are allproduced inside the Comoss.

The future trend :
Ultra-thin round, and non-PVC based flat, HDMI cable assemblies
