We've been running these through a pretty extensive QC routine before they leave the floor—the 1310nm attenuation holds at ≤0.36 dB/km typically, and at 1550nm it's ≤0.22, which gives you a solid baseline for long-haul runs. That loose tube design actually makes a difference when you're pulling it through ducts or trenching it direct burial, since tensile strength ranges from 800 to 2000N depending on the core count you pick.
So for batch consistency, we test every spool length with an OTDR and check the bend radius against the spec—10D static and 20D is what we see in practice, though we always recommend a bit more slack if you're doing tight conduit work. The PE sheath holds up fine form -40°C to +70°C, but it's not ideal for extreme chemcial exposure or constant UV without addtional jacketing, just a heads up.
2 cores all the way up to 288 cores, and we usually have stock on teh mid-range counts like 24, 48, and 96—those are the ones most buyers go with for telecom or datacom backbone runs. We carry RoHS, CE, ISO9001, and CCC certs on file, and you'll get a COA with each shipment that shows the actual attenuation numbers per kilometer.
The MOQ is about 500 meters or so for custom counts, but if you need a retest on a specific batch, our company can do that within 5 working days—just note it on the order and we'll run HPLC or OTDR verification again. For crush resisance, it's 300 to 1000N depending on the cable diameter, which is better than most generic outdoor cables for direct burial scenarios.
Anyway, if you're ordering for a metropolitan network or access network, the 144-core version is pretty much the sweet spot for balancing cost and density. That's something we've seen across hundreds of deployments.
Our MOQ is typically 10 kilometers per core count, but we can be flexible for custom orders. Just let us know your exact requirements and we'll work out the details.
Lead time is usually 15-25 working days after order confirmation and deposit, depending on the core count and quantity. For 288-core orders, we might need a bit more time, but we'll confirm with you upfront.
Yes, we can share certificates for RoHS, CE, ISO9001, CCC, and SGS upon request. Just let us know which reports you need, and we'll send them along with the shipment.
No, the tensile strength varies by core count and cable design—smaller cores typically have lower values, and larger cores go up to 2000N. We'll specify the exact rating for your chosen configuration in the datasheet.
Store the cable in a dry, shaded area off the ground, with temperatures between -10°C and +40°C, and avoid direct sunlight or moisture. Keep it in its original packaging until you're ready to pull it to preserve the sheath integrity.
