Quality You Can Verify
• Low-loss builds are 100% 3D-screened — fiber height, radius of curvature and apex offset measured on every ferrule (IEC 61300-3-30), because ≤0.35 dB is achieved by geometry selection, not by label.
• Every end face is inspected and cleaned to IEC 61300-3-35, then sealed with dust caps.
• Attenuation & return loss are measured per IEC 61300-3-4 / -3-6; each assembly ships with a serial-numbered report and a per-fiber polarity map, so trunks, cassettes and harnesses line up on first patch.
• Standard-grade builds (on request) are 100% end-face inspected and IL/RL tested; 3D geometry provided on sample or on request.
FAQ
Q1. Do you stock these?
No — length follows the rack layout, so trunks are made to order (MOQ 2 pcs), about 7 days for the standard build; on-request items and volume orders are quoted per project.
Q2. 8, 12 or 16-fiber — which?
Follow the optics (see the table above): SR4 uses 8, cassettes use 12, SR8 uses 16. MPO-12 is the standard; send the transceiver model and we confirm.
Q3. Do I need low-loss or standard grade?
Default to low-loss where several connectors cascade or speed is 100G+. Standard grade is fine only for short, simple channels with ample budget — tell us the link budget and we will not over-specify.
Q4. OM3, OM4 or OS2?
OM4 for 100G multimode (about 100 m); OM3 for shorter runs or existing plants; OS2 APC for single-mode / longer backbones. OM5 (SWDM) on request.
Q5. LSZH, OFNR or OFNP?
LSZH by default for European / indoor cabling; OFNR for riser / telecom rooms; OFNP in plenum air-handling spaces (North America).
Q6. New switches use SR4 ports but our plant is 12-fiber.
Use a conversion harness (e.g. 2× MPO-12 to 3× MPO-8) under XHT-D02, not a trunk.
Q7. Can we use our own labels?
Yes — private labels, port numbering, color bands and custom packaging are on request; the test report and polarity map are included as standard.
Ordering & Service
• Made to order, MOQ 2 pcs, standard 12-fiber OM3 / OM4 / OS2 low-loss build about 7 days; on-request configurations and volume orders agreed per project.
• To quote, send: transceiver / rate · length · fiber · jacket rating · polarity / gender · label needs — we return a complete BOM; a pre-production sample can be arranged; reply within 24 h.
• Mixed lengths, fiber types and jacket ratings in one shipment are normal for a rack build; trunks, harnesses, cassettes and panels can be supplied as one matched set.
Focus note: We specialize in the 12-fiber low-loss backbone for SME rooms and edge sites rather than cataloguing hyperscale configurations; larger / higher-count builds are quoted per project. Specify the transceiver and channel so we do not over- or under-specify.

MPO is the IEC 61754-7 / TIA-604-5 interface. Performance values are per the standards stated; measured values for each assembly are on its serial-numbered test record. Fiber count, fiber type, polarity, gender, jacket rating and length are confirmed on the order.
