The production manager over at the fiber plant had basically been through three different supliers before settling with us, and what it does is really cut down their signal loss issues—down to under 0.2dB on insertion loss every time, which is better than industry spec.

They’re using SC/UPC configuration for their data center runs, mostly single-mode at 1310nm, though we also do FC, ST, and LC if you need those, with APC end faces hitting ≥60dB return loss for teh tighter networks.

But the ceramic sleeves are what everyone notices first, because they add a good 1000-plus insertions of durability with steady repeatability under 0.1dB, so you’re not swapping them out every quarter or so.
Tensile strength sits at ≥90N, which handles most pulling during insallation, though it’s not suited for heavy-armored outdoor cable runs—that’s a different product range altogether.

Operating temp goes from -40°C to +80°C, and we’ve got RoHS, CE, and ISO9001 on file, but the lead time varies (usually 2-4 weeks depending on cable diameter—0.9mm, 2.0mm, or 3.0mm—and core config).
Our MOQ is typically 100 pieces per connector type, but if you need a smaller trial batch, just let us know and we can usually work something out.
Yes, we can include test data with every batch showing return loss ≥50dB for UPC and ≥60dB for APC, and insertion loss ≤0.2dB. Just request it on your order.
Absolutely, we support both 0.9mm and 2.0mm/3.0mm cables, and you can choose single-core or double-core. Just specify the cable diameter and core config when ordering.
For a standard order like that, lead time is around 7-10 business days. If you need them faster, we can rush it for a small fee.
Yes, they’re rated for that full temperature range and have a tensile strength of ≥90N, so they handle cold and heat well. Just make sure the cable and housing are also rated for outdoor conditions.
