Megladon's E2000 HLC SCRATCHGUARD Patch Cords Making Waves In The Marketplace


Austin, Texas, August 14, 2008 -- SensorTran Senior Optical Engineer endorses Megladon's E2000 HLC® SCRATCHGUARD(TM) Patch Cords. SensorTran and Megladon are both Austin, Texas based companies and have collaborated to bring high-quality products to the fiber optic marketplace.

Since Megladon Manufacturing released its new E2000 HLC SCRATCHGUARD Patch Cord in April of this year, they have received outstanding feedback from the market. By pairing their existing HLC process technology with their E2000 connectors, this product provides a mating surface that is dust and scratch resistant, exhibiting signal losses below industry standards.

SensorTran, a leader in designing and supplying rugged and reliable fiber optic-based Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) systems and solutions sees the rare and unmatched value in Megladon's latest product.

"Megladon's low return/insertion loss HLC patch cords and E2000 connectors are ideally suited for optical time domain reflectometry (OTDR) in harsh environment applications for STI's applications in oil and gas, and power cable industry sectors," says Mahesh Ajgaonkar - Senior Optical Engineer, SenorTran.

This product is being perceived as one of the most reliable, long-lasting, and most efficient patch cords in the global fiber optic marketplace. SensorTran is only one of many companies recognizing the significance of the E2000 HLC SCRATCHGUARD Fiber Optic Patch Cord.
