Ordered 6,000 meters of OM3 multimode fiber for a storage area network project in Ohio. On arrival, approximately 15% of reels had mislabeled meter markings that didn't match the actual reel length, creating inventory tracking problems for our team. Raised the issue with the supplier immediately—they responded within 4 hours, issued corrected documentation, and offered partial credit on the next order. The fiber itself tested correctly against TIA-568.3-D OM3 specs: attenuation and bandwidth both within tolerance. The problem was administrative rather than product quality. Supplier's response was professional and the credit was honored.
