Incoming Quality inspection
1.Once the raw materials received, we will check the qty & spec. by warehouse workers before sending to IQC dept.;
2.IQC inspect the raw materials according to SOP/samples/drawing etc.;
3.If the materials pass the inspection, we will have a PASS label on the original packaging, and return goods back to
warehouse together with a QC report;
4.If the quality is not good, notice the related dept. in written, and follow up how to solve.

In order to produce high quality, reliable cable assemblies, there are a number of physical characteristics that
must be addressed. Many of these issues have been thoroughly outlined in IEC, EIA/TIA, JIS and Telcordia
standards. They include acceptable parameters for intermateability, insertion loss, return loss, radius of
curvature, apex offset and fiber height. Other issues that attribute to long term reliability are ferrule/fiber fit,
ferrule concentricity, and ferrule surface defects. The following diagrams illustrate some critical components of
a fiber optic cable assembly.
Misalignment - Fiber core alignment is critical to a cable
assembly’s ability to transmit light. Main causes of
misalignment are typical mechanical issues associated with
low quality connectors or fiber: ferrule concentricity, hole
tolerances, fiber concentricity, and variations in
core diameter.
End-face Defects - Visual defects are one of the most
common causes of latent failures. Scratches, pits, and hips
in the ferrule end‐face can change over time, becoming
more pronounced and migrating to critical areas of the
fiber core, thus affecting Performance.
They are also a prime source for deposits of dust, moisture,
and other contaminants.
3D Interferometers
Radius of Curvature - The end-face of the connector is given aspecific
radius during the polishing process. This radius provides the basis for
ensuring that both fibers make contact. Both the apex offset and fiber
heights are dependent on the radius of curvature being within the
predetermined parameters.
Fiber Height - Physical contact of the fiber is necessary for proper
light transfer. The end-face geometry has strict fiber protrusion limits,
as well as fiber undercut limits. These limits are based exclusively on a
mathematical calculation of the radius of curvature. If the fiber is too
high, damage to the end-face may occur. If the fiber is too low, the physical
contact may never occur, causing increased attenuation and reflectance.
Apex Offset - Physical contact connectors feature a radius on the end-face.
The peak of the radius is known as the apex. The relationship from the apex
to the ‘perfect’ center of the ferrule is known as the apex offset.
Strict control of this specification is mandatory in order to precisely control
the distance of each fiber from the surface of the connector and to ensure
physical contact upon mating.
