Information technology and communications have become more and more important within our economy
and society.
In the early days of fiber optics, when telecommunication companies were still experimenting with this
revolutionary technology, Diamond was already meeting the needs of commerce. In 1979 Diamond developed
its first connector for PTT in Switzerland (today’s Swisscom), already using a two component ferrule
and a micromanipulator to centre the fiber core inside the connector. With this method a 0.5 dB Insertion
Loss was achieved: an unequalled performance at that time.
Later on, Diamond created the first push pull connector with integrated dust cap: the famous E-2000 TM
connector. Other firsts followed quickly: 100% quality control, the Active Core Alignment technique, two
component ferrules, maximum insertion loss of 0.10 dB, minimum return loss of 85 dB, high power connectors,
polarization maintaining connectors, multi-fiber connectors and customized connectors.
Diamond’s unique positioning and excellent connector performance have contributed to the company’s
success in the telecommunication market.
