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.
