Larry Widgeon

Founder of KITCO Fiber Optics
“As the founder of KITCO Fiber Optics, my journey was driven by a passion for innovation and a commitment to transforming the United States Navy’s shipboard fiber optics. The U.S. Navy tasked me with developing a comprehensive line of fiber optic maintenance kits, Measurement Quality Jumpers (MQJs), and Fiber Optic Splicing Kits. I also created a five-day, hands-on training program that quickly gained success. Since the late 1990s, KITCO has been at the forefront of shipboard and ground tactical fiber optics, leading the industry in innovation and expertise.”
