As
an ISO 9001: 2000 certified company, MEFC has been successfully
implementing the quality management system requirements
with a complete commitment to satisfy the Customer needs.
Our experienced and highly skilled engineers test the
incoming raw materials, conduct inprocess inspection
at every cable manufacturing stage, verify the compliance
to the requirements after every process. Finished cables
are tested as per national /international standards
& customer specifications.
Our
cables meet the performance requirements of local utility
Companies & national and international standards
namely SCECO, ARAMCO, MAT(Saudi Telecom Standards),
IEC, ITU-T, EIA/TIA, BS , BELL CORE, RUS-PE 90.
Our
Quality staff conducts tests to verify the performance
and reliability of Optical fibers. These tests include
Fiber strength, Attenuation Co-efficient, Attenuation
uniformity, Mode field diameter, Cutoff Wavelength,
Chromatic Dispersion, Polarization mode dispersion,
Bandwidth,Numerical aperture, Cladding diameter, Concentricity
error, Non-circularity and Coating diameter. The measurement
in respect of above referred fiber parameters are carried
out before the cabling process using advanced computer
controlled test equipment which are calibrated using
international standard artifacts at regular intervals.
These optical fibers are manufactured and tested in
a dust free clean room environment. Type tests such
as Macro bending, Temperature cycling are conducted
periodically an optical fibers to the latest standards.
Colored
fibers are tested for MEK and compatibility with material
which they come in contact with when they are cabled.
In order to verify the ability to withstand the extreme
climate conditions, all the plastics components of the
cable are tested for shrink back and cold bend test
before being approved for processing.After the stage
wise inspection , routine tests-attenuation co-efficient,
Attenuation uniformity, water ingress test on filled
cables, physical dimensions and surface quality , are
carried out on the finished cables.
In
order to ensure the finished cables function satisfactorily
for at least 30 to 40 years without degradation to
the Optical transmission, type tests are conducted
for every design periodically. Tensile loading, Fiber
strain, Flexing , Repeated Bend, Impact , Crush ,Torsion,
Temperature cycling, Compound Flow tests are conducted
using automated equipments to precisely apply the
conditions laid down in international standards as
well as customers specifications.
The
process and product quality characteristics are analyzed
using statistical quality control techniques. X-bar
and R charts, Normal Distribution analysis, Pareto
Analysis, Percentile charts, P-charts are widely used
statistical techniques for monitoring of test equipment
and product quality characteristics in MEFC.
Our
commitment towards delivering highest quality optical
fiber cables is quality assurance to our customers
that they can reap the benefits of peak performance
from their fiber optic network.
