MINNEAPOLIS, April 28, 2022--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nortech Systems Incorporated (Nasdaq: NSYS) (the "Company") a global leader in specialized design and manufacturing solutions for complex electrical and electromedical components, announced this week the launch of its newest active optical technology platform, Active Optical Xtreme (AOX). AOX is a small form-factor hybrid solution providing power, control and data transmission across longer distances required for use in machine vision systems, factory automation, robotics, and intelligent sensing devices.
Hybrid fiber optic and copper USB-C cable solution delivers power, control and data spanning longer cable lengths
Improved bandwidth efficiency and data integrity compared to typical multi-cable solutions
Ideal for applications requiring lightweight, small footprint, environmentally friendly, long-reach data-generating devices such as image capture, vision and geo-aware imaging systems
Requires Fewer Cables, Less Panel and Processor Space
AOX is a hybrid design technology that integrates transceivers, receivers and optical fiber within the cable to transmit significantly more data than an equal number of copper cables.
"AOX delivers the power of traditional copper cables, plus the high-quality data of fiber optics in a single cable," said Jay D. Miller, Nortech’s CEO. "Nortech’s AOX technology is highly customizable and is designed to connect intelligent devices across longer distances in demanding environments such as automated factories."
Designed to optimize power supply and data integrity across longer distances, AOX provides a very flexible and resilient spectrum of solutions. The embedded electronics are protected by rugged and durable connector and backshell arrangements. This single cable solution reduces design complexity and streamlines the supply chain when compared with congested multi-cable configurations.
Ideal for Customized, Complex Machine Vision Applications
"Rapid growth in edge computing demands long-reach data and power delivery. Our customers also understand the global ESG trend that requires reduced risk in an environmentally sustainable supply chain," said Miller. "AOX is designed to help meet these challenges by incorporating fiber optics with reductions in copper content. Fiber requires far less energy to utilize throughout its lifecycle and eliminates the mining processes associated with copper, while offering significantly increased performance. Nortech is very excited about the opportunities these innovations provide."
AOX adoption will ramp up through 2022 and will not have a material impact on Nortech's 2022 financial results. For information about AOX, please visit the Nortech Systems website.

NEW YORK (Reuters) -Major U.S. retailers that recently scrambled to restock shelves amid product shortages disclosed this week that their stores are now packed with too much merchandise, and some are even doing what was unthinkable just a few months ago: discounting unsold goods. With shoppers' tastes quickly shifting, many retailers now find themselves with a surplus of merchandise, driving up costs. Costco Wholesale Corp said its inventories ballooned 26% in its fiscal third quarter ended May 8 that included a "few hundred million dollars" of extra holiday merchandise and being a "little heavy" on small appliances and household items.
