Mar. 23, 2011 (TheNewswire.ca) --

Hayward, California - March 23, 2011: Valdor Technology International (OOTC:TCNI) Inc. (TSXV:VTI) (OOTC:VTIFF) ("Valdor")(TSX-V: VTI) is pleased to report that a patent application for an Impact Mount (IMT) field installable cantilever SMA connector with an IMT field installable hand tool and fiber gage has been filed with the US Patent and Trademark Office. This enhancement allows the connector to withstand higher temperatures while maintaining its field installable capability.

The SMA connector is rapidly growing in popularity for harsh environment applications, especially in the medical and industrial sectors. When high powered lasers are required as the light signal source, the associated fiber optic connector must be able to withstand high temperatures. By using Valdor's impact mounted stainless steel ferrule to uniformly dissipate heat, this enhanced cantilever SMA connector is one of the few industry solutions for a field installable connector capable of withstanding high temperatures. In addition, the termination end polishing, the use of the all mechanical IMT fiber mount process and the extension of the cantilever fiber end, all result in better concentricity for coupling the fiber to the laser.

Valdor representatives attended the 2011 OFC/NFOEC conference, in Los Angeles, from March 8 to 10, 2011. There was significant interest in the Valdor technology; several new sales contacts were developed and several previous ones were renewed.

About the Fiber Optics Industry: Fiber optics is the future of communications and fiber optic connectors are one of the major profit centres within this market. The signal transmission business is in the early stages of a fiber optics bull market. All signal transmission, in their many and various forms, are being converted from electrical, using copper wire and coaxial cable, to fiber optics. In the USA the Obama administration has recently pledged an initial US$7.2-billion to a plan that calls for 100 million Americans to have access to super high speed internet. This high speed internet will require significant fiber optic infrastructure. The annual global market for fiber optic connectors is projected to grow to US$3.45 billion in 2011 (ElectroniCast Consultants: www.electronicastconsultants.com).
