Advice for Cable Manufacturers Looking to Enter the US Fiber Optic Market

I’m seeing a trend in the fiber optic industry: Cable manufacturers around the world are looking to develop and qualify cable designs in order to enter the US fiber optic market. Unfortunately, I’m witnessing another trend: Many cable manufacturers don’t do enough research prior to designing their products to meet US qualifications. At the testing stage, they encounter disappointing failures. They must step back to redesign and retool. This costs time – and tens of thousands of dollars.

This includes guiding them past the many potential pitfalls to develop, test, and successfully qualify their fiber optic cables for the American market.
