Assembled Board and Product Testing

At FORTÉ DESIGNS in Longmont, Colorado, we are able to offer the comprehensive testing of fiber optic modules and assembled printed circuit boards. We have a complete range of high-frequency and fiber optic test equipment that we can use to verify your finished product’s requirements.
 

Testing Services and Capabilities

Our testing services are primarily geared to verify the performance of fiber optic modules and assembled printed circuit boards operating at up to 10Gb/s or 10 GHz.  We are also able to make comparison testing of individual designs.  The final test result will yield a comparison of the units and point out areas where they differ or where they can be improved.
