FIBER-OPTIC COMPONENT AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME
First Claim
1. A method for manufacturing a fiber-optic component, said method comprising the steps of:
- a) providing a casing defining an enclosed cavity therewithin;
b) inserting a fiber-optic unit into said cavity;
c) providing a potting material; and
d) introducing said potting material into said cavity so that a space around said fiber-optic unit being filled with said potting material to encapsulate said fiber-optic unit;
said potting material having said compressive strength allowing said fiber-optic component to withstand pressure of up to 14,000 psi.

Abstract
A fiber-optic component comprises a hollow casing defining an enclosed cavity therewithin, a fiber-optic unit disposed within the cavity, and a potting compound filling the cavity in the casing and encapsulating the fiber-optic unit of the fiber-optic component. The potting material has a compressive strength allowing the fiber-optic component to withstand pressure of up to 14,000 psi. A method for manufacturing the fiber-optic component comprises the steps of: providing the casing with the enclosed cavity therewithin, inserting the fiber-optic unit into the cavity, providing the potting material, and introducing the potting material into the cavity so that a space around the fiber-optic unit is filled with the potting material to encapsulate the fiber-optic unit.
