Press Release Body = LAKE OSWEGO, OR - February 14, 2007 - Timbercon, Inc., a leader
in the development and manufacturing of fiber optic products and connectivity
solutions, announced today a special fiber optic cable testing and inspection event
at the OFC/NFOEC show in Anaheim, March 27 - March 29, 2007. This service will
provide show attendees the opportunity to get a standard fiber optic cable cleaned,
tested, inspected and analyzed with accompanying hard copy inspection report of the
cable, compliments of Timbercon.

For each cable provided, Timbercon will properly clean the cable assembly, perform
an end face inspection with a Westover 400X scope to check for scratches, pits and
contamination; conduct an interferometry analysis for radius, apex offset, fiber
height, angle, key error and fiber roughness; capture insertion loss and return loss
measurements. Upon completion, Timbercon will provide a hard copy report summary of
the cable. The event is designed to offer a free, no obligation opportunity for
users of fiber optic cables to receive professional cleaning, inspection, testing
and analysis of their cable while enabling attendees to gain a better understanding
of fiber cable testing, the differences in performance associated with various
performance criteria, connectorization, polish and the importance of cleaning.

"Our goal with this event is to provide fiber optical cable assembly users an
opportunity to look at one of their own cables and better understand the various
attributes associated with its performance, and how those attributes can be
optimized with quality cable preparation and manufacturing," commented John Lee, VP
of sales and marketing for Timbercon. "This is a great opportunity to get free
testing and independent analysis on a cable currently in use at your facility."

The free test and inspection event is open to all attendees of the OFC/NFOEC 2007
show. To participate, simply bring a standard fiber optic cable assembly to the
Timbercon booth (#3207) during exhibit hours and ask a Timbercon representative,
"How good is my cable?" Each event participant will receive an Armadillo loopback
(single mode or multi mode) and be entered to win an Apple Ipod. For questions,
additional information or to set up a booth appointment, contact: Holly Woolard at
