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.
