Valdor Technology International Inc. (TSX.V: VTI) is a fiber optics component company specializing in the design and manufacturing of its patented Impact Mount™ Technology (IMT) all-metal-epoxyless field termination connectors, mechanical splices, and installation kits. Every fiber optic cable must end with a connector or splice. ElectroniCast Consultants www.electronicastconsultants.com has forecast that the global market for connectors and mechanical splices is projected to grow from $1.4 billion in 2006 to $3.4 billion in 2011. Valdor’s unique IMT connectors, mechanical splices, and installation kits have major advantages in both established and emerging fiber optic markets. Additionally, Valdor’s patented IMT connectors are the only connectors suitable for many applications in the fiber optics industry.
Impact Mount™ Technology is a radial compression fit of a ductile metal around a cylindrical glass surface. The need to metallize optical fiber is eliminated by Impact Mount™Technology (IMT).
The IMT is a unique, patented design that assures reliable terminations time after time by securing the glass fiber within the metal ferrule. This illustration depicts the single fiber ferrule IMT process. Attachment of metal ferrules to the fiber(s) occurs in one fast mechanical action. This action, called the impact, occurs between the stripped fiber and the ferrule using a precision impact mount die. The IMT connectors/ferrules are made from various metal alloys, the most common types being stainless steel and copper-nickel. The main body of the connector can be all-metal or constructed with glass-reinforced polymer. For a single fiber operation, the result easily creates a hermetic seal between the fiber and the ferrule.
Currently, in the telecom industry, technology is far ahead of the marketplace. Of the three design drivers – cost, performance, and reliability – cost heavily dominates the list. Market dynamics are pressuring manufacturers to produce fiber optic components at very low cost; but they cannot support the economy of scale that traditionally accompanies high volume manufacturing. There is, however, still demand for performance and reliability at the right price.
The emerging importance of manufacturing innovation to component and module performance represents a paradigm shift for the optical communications industry. Impact Mount™ Technology (IMT), and its progeny, HeptoPort™ typifies this paradigm shift. Multiple ADMs, DWDM selectors, isolators, interleavers, and many other functions can be incorporated in a single component, sharing the cost of expensive elements such as filters, lenses, etc. Offering unparalleled self-alignment features with significant cost reduction for the module designer, HeptoPort™ opens an entirely new set of physical design options for the optical networking industry.

Valdor is selling products to several major companies that, in the near term, could place blanket orders.
Unbiased third parties confirm that Valdor connectors are superior to all competing connectors.
Valdor’s connector technology is patented in the USA and a few select countries.
Valdor projects it will require a total raise of less than US$1,500,000 to reach profitability.
Valdor has a manufacturing facility in Shanghai, China.
Valdor’s primary marketing focus is on niche markets thru OEM and qualified distributors.
Upon achieving a 0.5% – 2.5% connector market penetration, Valdor could become a take-over target.
