- Single-mode (SMF): OS1, OS2 (ITU-T G.652.D, G.657.A1/A2)
- Multi-mode (MMF): OM1, OM2, OM3, OM4, OM5
- Simplex, Duplex, and Multi-fiber (up to 144 fibers)
- Jackets: Riser (OFNR), Plenum (OFNP), LSZH, Steel Armor
Connectors and Polishing
- Standard Connectors: LC, SC, ST, FC, MTRJ, E2000
- High-Density Connectors: MPO/MTP® (8, 12, 16, 24 fibers)
- Polishing: PC, SPC, UPC (Ultra Physical Contact)
- Angled Polishing: APC (Angled Physical Contact) 8°
Guaranteed Performance and Quality
Every assembly is built in a controlled environment to minimize contamination and maximize performance. We adhere to the strictest industry standards.
- Insertion Loss (IL): Typical ≤ 0.15 dB, Max ≤ 0.25 dB (per Telcordia GR-326-CORE)
- Return Loss (RL): ≥ 55 dB (UPC), ≥ 65 dB (APC) for single-mode
- Systematic Testing: End-face visual inspection (IEC 61300-3-35), bidirectional IL/RL testing.
- Optional Testing: 3D interferometry report (ferrule geometry), thermal cycling test.
- Traceability: Unique serial number on each cable for full test and component traceability.
Applications
Our custom assemblies are engineered for maximum reliability in demanding environments:
- Data center networks (40G/100G/400G interconnects)
- Telecommunication networks (FTTH, mobile backhaul)
- Medical equipment (endoscopy, surgical lasers)
- Military and aerospace applications (embedded systems, sensors)
- Broadcast video and professional audiovisual networks
- Industrial instrumentation and measurement systems

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for fiber optic assemblies?
We do not enforce a strict minimum order quantity (MOQ). We can produce single prototypes as well as runs of several thousand units. Unit pricing scales down with volume.
What are your typical lead times for custom cables?
Standard lead times are 3 to 5 business days for prototypes and small runs (up to 100 pieces) when components are in stock. For higher-volume production, lead time is typically 2 to 4 weeks, depending on assembly complexity and the availability of specific connectors and cables.
What factors influence the price of a fiber optic cable assembly?
Price is mainly driven by: fiber type (single-mode vs. multi-mode), connector type and brand (e.g. Senko, US Conec), cable length, jacket type (LSZH, Plenum, armored), fiber count, and specific test requirements (e.g. individual interferometry report).
What information do you need to provide an accurate quote?
For a fast and accurate quote, please provide a detailed drawing or diagram including: fiber type (e.g. OS2, OM4), connector types at each end (e.g. LC/APC to SC/UPC), total length with tolerances, polish type (UPC/APC), and the desired quantity.
Do you test every assembled cable before shipment?
Yes, absolutely. 100% of our fiber optic assemblies undergo rigorous quality control. Each cable is tested for insertion loss (IL) and return loss (RL) using calibrated equipment. An individual test report is provided with every assembly.
