Over the next several modules, we'll discuss the eight different categories of product offered within the clear line portfolio. It's all too easy for a clear line to be associated with only the fiber itself and the connectors that attached to it. But we go well beyond that. Our product line provides solutions for the entire fiber infrastructure and includes termination and testing tools, cleaning inspection tools, active optical cables, rack and wall mounted enclosures, and their associated adapter modules, media extension devices and patch cables.

Active optical cables or AOCs are by no means unique to Cleerline and have been available in one form or another for some time. Due to the nature of their construction, however, AOCs can be susceptible to breaking, and that's where Cleerline's AOCs make a difference. The utilization of safe fiber within our AOC makes them far stronger and more resilient to breakage than other AOCs that are available.
