Communications and electronics industries require high bandwidth and high-speed transmission capabilities. Fiber optic cables support modern data networks by transmitting a wide range of light frequencies with less data loss than copper cables and without vulnerability to corrosion. Working with high-quality materials prevents signal degradation and ensures the finished products will deliver the performance capabilities modern electronics demand.

Pilgrim Harp is a leading partner in fiber optics manufacturing. We offer an extensive range of manufacturing options and end-to-end production management. Our experts will ensure you receive exceptional quality components that meet your industry standards and tolerance requirements.

Pilgrim Harp’s Products for Communications and Electronics Applications

At Pilgrim Harp, we provide expertly manufactured products for communications and electronics applications. Learn more about our solutions below.

Fiber Optic Connectors

Also referred to as terminations, fiber optic connectors join fiber optic cables to ferrule holders. While fiber optic cable can be extended using mechanical splices or fusion techniques, points where the cable must be plugged into equipment require a connector. These components securely link cables to electronic devices to prevent signal interruption.

There are many types of fiber optic connectors used, with the type a project requires depending on the equipment involved. Further, as the electronics industry continues to develop increasingly high-density products, certain older connector types are being phased out. At Pilgrim Harp, we can deliver quality fiber optic connectors that match application-specific needs.

Ferrule Holders

Ferrule holders from Pilgrim Harp improve the durability and reliability of fiber optic connections. These small rings, made from either metal or plastic, reinforce joints between two components. One of the most common uses of ferrule holders is creating a connection between two fiber optic cables.

While it is possible to splice cables together, a ferrule holder delivers added security in applications that involve vibrations or high stress levels, providing added reinforcement to prevent fiber optic wires from fraying or breaking. This is particularly essential in high-stress areas, such as locations where cables are bent or twisted.

Crimping

Crimping is a method of securing fiber optic cable jackets and connectors. The process was developed as an alternative to soldering and follows the same principles as crimping electrical contacts for mechanical strength and fiber protection. High-quality crimping prevents mechanical distress, optimizes optical performance, and can even prevent cable assembly failure.

Pilgrim Harp delivers quality fiber optic crimping services that ensure force is transferred to the connector itself rather than the glass fiber. By crimping fiber optic connectors correctly, cable assemblies can easily withstand the pulling forces that occur during installation and service. Crimped cable jackets are unlikely to twist or detach, delivering a longer and more reliable service life.

Pilgrim Harp’s Additional Capabilities

Pilgrim Harp has extensive experience in communications and electronics production. Throughout our many years of service, we’ve partnered with a broad range of public and private companies and are closely familiar with end-to-end production processes for this industry. We manufacture communications products in medium-to-high production volumes with quantities that vary by application.

As an expert in project management, Pilgrim Harp handles your entire project, from advanced quality planning to shipment. We eliminate the hassle of having to communicate directly with factories, manage logistics, and meet large minimum order requirements. Our team has a vast network of vetted industry connections that we leverage for fiber optic parts manufacturing. As a result, we are able to provide small and miniature fiber optic parts that meet tight tolerance requirements.

Pilgrim Harp adheres to industry standard lead times and meets stringent quality standards. Not only do we check product quality at the factory in-process, but also when received at our Avon, OH facility, and again prior to shipment. Additionally, the communications and electronics products our customers receive are competitively priced, with no hidden costs.
