| Batch Qualification Rate | ≥ 99.5% | Each production batch undergoes 100% end-to-end OTDR screening and tensile proof testing |
| Manufacturing Environment Standards | ISO 9001:2015 / ISO 14001:2015 | Produced in dust-controlled cleanroom environment; full traceability from preform to finished cable |
| Core Raw Material Source | High-purity synthetic silica (SiO₂ ≥ 99.99%) | Preform manufactured via MCVD/OVD/PCVD process; hydroxyl (OH⁻) content < 1 ppb |
| Packaging Specification | Wooden drum; standard lengths: 2 km, 4 km, 6 km per reel | Drum dimensions and flange diameter comply with IEC 60794-1-1; custom lengths available on request |
| Storage Conditions | Temperature: -20°C to +60°C; Humidity: 10%–85% RH (non-condensing) | Store indoors on flat surface; avoid direct UV exposure and chemical contact; keep drum upright |
| Valid Shelf Life | 25 years (installed); 2 years (uninstalled, sealed packaging) | Fiber coating integrity guaranteed for 2 years from shipment date under recommended storage conditions |
| Application Scenarios | FTTH/FTTB last-mile, campus backbone, aerial/duct/direct-burial outdoor distribution networks | Suitable for OSP (Outside Plant) environments including urban, suburban, and industrial zones |
| Compliance & Certification | ITU-T G.652.D, IEC 60794-1, RoHS 2011/65/EU, TIA-568.3-D | CE marked; UL listed variants available; REACH compliant; halogen-free jacket option available |
| Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) | 10 km (≈ 3 reels of 4 km standard length) | Sample orders of 1–2 km accepted for qualification testing; OEM/ODM labeling available above MOQ |
| Monthly Supply Capacity | 500,000 km/month (fiber); 80,000 km/month (finished cable) | Capacity scalable based on fiber count and jacket configuration; lead time 15–30 days after order confirmation |
Ordered 24F outdoor distribution fiber for a data center interconnect project. The cable itself tested well — attenuation at 0.19 dB/km at 1550 nm, crush resistance above 3,000 N/100 mm, RoHS compliant. However, the initial shipment arrived without the full IEC 60794 factory test report we had specified in our PO. I flagged this to the account team, and the complete documentation package was emailed within 6 hours and hard copies included with a follow-up parcel. Issue resolved professionally. Product quality meets spec; documentation process has since been confirmed as updated.
