Space Laser Communications

Since 2003, we have been at the forefront of space-based fiber optic solutions. Our expertise comes from Andy Devine, the founder of Coastal Connections, who spent two years qualifying a fiber optic connector to withstand 10 years of thermal cycling in space. We apply these invaluable lessons to every connector we build. Our deep understanding of space conditions ensures that our products deliver unmatched performance and reliability in the most demanding environments.

Pioneers in Space-Based Fiber Optics

We are proud to offer our Qualified FC connector, rigorously tested to survive the harsh conditions of space, significantly reducing your risks. As the world’s leading supplier of fiber end-caps for SM and PM fibers in ferrules and connectors, we enhance the reliability of free space optics. Our commitment to quality and innovation ensures that you receive top-tier products designed to perform exceptionally in any application.

“I have been working with the Grants Pass Team (formerly ESAM) since 2012 and I consider them a valuable partner. Their team is involved in every stage from design development to production. The products they provide are consistently of the highest quality, with a failure rate of less than 1%. Monthly visits from their service representative allow our production and R&D engineers to discuss new ideas and review opportunities for improvement. Thanks to the high acceptance rate of harnesses and components from this team, we have streamlined our incoming receiving process. I greatly value the relationship with Impact ES.”
