The Lightwave Innovation Reviews recognizes excellence in products, services and technology applicable to optical networks. Technology developers are invited to submit new or recently enhanced products or services for review by an independent panel of judges. This year’s judging panel included executives from network operators, technology vendors and industry research and analysis firms. Each entry is reviewed by at least three judges, who rate the entry on a scale of one to five based on its innovation and potential contribution to customer success. Entries that receive an average score of at least 3.5 achieve Honoree status. Molex received the Honoree score of five.
“I congratulate Molex on their score of five,” said Stephen Hardy, Lightwave editorial director and program manager of the 2020 Lightwave Innovation Reviews. “This program recognizes and rewards the top products and services available to the optical communications industry. Lumalink Optical Trace Cable Assemblies achieving Honoree status is a testament to Molex’s innovation.”
