Company Overview

• COTSWORKS, LLC is an innovative manufacturer of

rugged optical components and subsystems for harsh

environment networking and sensing applications.

• Commercial-Off-The-Shelf components are integrated

across multiple engineering disciplines to WORK in the

most consistent, highest quality, performance, and cost-

effective ways.

• These products are designed for commercial and Military

Aerospace, Military Tactical, Industrial & Energy, Rugged

Networking, and Sensor markets.

About COTSWORKS

Our diverse worldwide team of individual experts will utilize

dynamic fiber optic networks to transform data communication

and sensing systems at leading Aerospace, Military, and

Industrial manufacturers.

Founding Vision

COTSWORKS’ Mission Statement

Create a leading platform of Opto-Electric devices and

Interconnect products that are of the highest quality

and performance at cost-effective levels;

Operate a global business in the most ethical, legal,

industry compliant, environmentally conscious, and

socially responsible manner possible on behalf of our

customers, vendors, employees, and shareholders.

• Change the way commercial airplanes are manufactured by

reducing the weight and overall bulk of existing wiring and

related systems. This will improve the operational efficiency

resulting in a reduction of carbon emissions from these

aircraft equal to or less than the emissions of our home city of

Cleveland, Ohio.

• Enable increased sensitivity and accuracy of radar and sonar

systems to give the U.S. military and our allies a rapid

Defensive and preemptive Offensive advantage.

Technology & Community Value Creation

• Define harsh environment optical network requirements;

• Integrate rugged transceivers and cabling onto embedded

boards or into box-level solutions;

• Optical link budget needs (Tx and Rx dBm);
