Meeting increasing need for fiber optic cable testing

Telecommunications and network systems are increasingly making the switch to optical fiber. In response, our fiber optics program has been expanded and enhanced to meet growing industry needs. We have significantly increased our capacity and capability to carry out safety and transmission performance testing on multiple fiber-optic products.

Verifying performance and simplifying continued compliance for fiber optic cables

You can satisfy all of your safety certification and performance Verification needs for optical fiber products in a single submittal. We offer bundled safety certification and performance Verification service packages that allow you to combine the applicable UL Solutions, network equipment-building system (NEBS) and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing services, saving time and money by eliminating redundant testing.

Our comprehensive follow-up program helps simplify supply chain management by determining products’ continued compliance with industry standards.
