Discover our complete Fibre Optic Offer
Data rates keep rising. Space keeps shrinking. EMI constraints aren't getting easier.
For mission-critical electronics, copper alone can't take you where you need to go.
Fibre optics unlocks the next generation of high-speed, secure, and lightweight architectures, and Nicomatic makes that transition seamless.
We don't deliver catalogue parts.
We co-engineer complete optical solutions, ready for real-world constraints, including shock, vibration, temperature, radiation, cleanliness, and integration tolerances; nothing is left to chance.
From concept to qualification and serial deployment, our experts ensure reliable transmission where failure is not an option.

VITA 66-Compatible Solutions for Backplane Integration
VPX architectures have become a key standard in high-performance embedded systems. With our solutions compliant with VITA 66, you can integrate optical links through the backplane without sacrificing robustness or compactness.
We support VITA 66.1 (2 MT ferrules) and VITA 66.4 (1 MT ferrule), offering:
- Compact, ruggedised modules compatible with VPX backplanes
- High-precision MT ferrule alignment for low insertion loss
- Stable performance in harsh environments (shock, vibration, temperature)
Our strength: delivering ready-to-integrate optical sub-assemblies, perfectly adapted to your mechanical and thermal constraints.
Our VITA 66 Optical Connectors deliver:
- Robustness: engineered for reliability in extreme conditions.
- High performance: fast data transmission in compact formats.
- Modularity: flexible standard adaptable to various system needs.
- High density: up to 24 optical channels per MT ferrule.
We also offer specialised configurations, such as the VITA 66.4 Dual, an optimised VITA 66.4 form factor with two MT interfaces.
DMM with MT Ferrule:
Fibre Connectivity in a Compact Format
Part of our DMM product line, this innovative module with MT ferrule enables compact fibre optic connections, perfectly adapted for panel mounting. Built to MIL-AERO standards, it delivers strong optical performance in harsh-environment conditions.
Highlights:
- MT ferrule: high-density, high-speed optical transmission
- Captive screw: fast and secure mounting, even under shock conditions
- Compact and versatile: compatible with round or flat cables, ideal for tight spaces
Reliable, modular, and robust, this DMM solution is ideal for aerospace, military, and advanced system applications.
Compact Optical Transceivers:
Convert Closer to the Source
Our transceivers ensure the conversion of electrical signals to optical signals and vice versa, directly at your systems or subsystems level, reducing the dependence on copper links.
Compact and modular, they are designed for high-density architectures, with interfaces tailored to your needs.
They are fully connectorised on both optical and electrical sides, allowing for rapid deployment and scalability.
Key features:
- Optical interfaces: MT, TMT, or custom
- 4 Tx and 4 Rx channels per transceiver
- High-density electrical interposer for direct board integration
- High-speed conversion up to 25 Gbps per channel
- Optical budget: 15 dB at 10 Gbps for reliable transmission
- Rugged packaging, suitable for defence, aerospace, and space applications
- Low power consumption and optimised thermal management

In-House Lab for Optical Testing
Nicomatic operates its own optical testing lab to qualify your fibre optic links according to applicable standards:
- Insertion and return loss measurements (IL, RL)
- Mechanical and thermal testing
- Functional testing during stress (vibration, shock, climate) with bit error rate (up to 25 Gbps per channel)
- Geometric control of optical terminations
- Microscopic inspection and cleanliness verification
This helps accelerate prototyping, ensure design reliability, and streamline production readiness.
Want to upskill your team?
Nicomatic offers technical training in fibre optics to ensure robust, repeatable, and compliant assemblies for critical environments.
Led by our experts, these sessions cover the entire process, from preparation to testing.
Key benefits:
- Mastery of international standards (incl. IEC 61300)
- Best practices for stripping, polishing, cleaning, and inspecting
- Optimising your optical budget: visual control, ferrule geometry, insertion/return loss, OTDR, etc.
- Controlled production through strict inspection sequences
- Broad terminis range (Multifibre: MT / PMT, Monofibre: ARINC 801 / MIL)
- Optional certification upon completion
