SENKO Advanced Components

Overview

SENKO Advanced Components, founded in 1997 and based in the United States, operates within the manufacturing sector, specifically focusing on electronics and related manufacturing processes. The company employs between 11 and 50 individuals and has reported revenue in the millions. SENKO specializes in connectorized fiber optic patch cords, which are essential for various network applications. Their engineering department emphasizes the importance of performance expectations related to insertion loss (IL) and return loss (RL) in fiber optics, highlighting that even compliant components may underperform due to installation care and connector intermateability. SENKO has developed a classification system for their connectors, graded A to D, in accordance with IEC Random Mating specifications, enabling users to select appropriate connectors based on their performance requirements. A recent application note discusses the performance of SENKO's connectors compared to alternatives, demonstrating that their products meet or exceed industry standards set by Telcordia and IEC during testing, thus addressing common challenges in optical loss consistency.
