4. Test Requirements
Approved by various professional optical and communication product institution, ZTT also conduct
various in-house testing in its own Laboratory and Test Center. She also conduct test with special
arrangement with the Chinese Government Ministry of Quality Supervision & Inspection Center of
Optical Communication Products (QSICO). ZTT possess the technology to keep its fiber attenuation
loss within Industry Standards.

The cable is in accordance with applicable standard of cable and requirement of customer. The
following test items are carried out according to corresponding reference.

Routine tests of optical fiber

Mode field diameter IEC 60793-1-45

Mode field Core/clad concentricity IEC 60793-1-20

5. Packing and Drum
5.1 ZTT cables are packed in carton, coiled on Bakelite & wooden drum. During transportation, right
tools should be used to avoid damaging the package and to handle with ease. Cables should
be protected from moisture; kept away from high temperature and fire sparks; protected from
over bending and crushing; protected from mechanical stress and damage.

Wooden strip seal

Wooden flange

Inner tub
Cable fixing point

Axle hole
Cable trough

5.2 The color of cable marking is white. (The printing shall be carried out at interval of 1 meter on the
outer sheath of cable) The inner end of cable is then sealed with heat shrinkable end cap to
prevent ingress of water and is made available for testing. The outer end of cable is equipped
with heat shrinkable end cap. Outer sheath marking legend can be changed according to user’s
requests.

5.3 Outdoor cable packing

Bakelite & wooden drum
Strong wooden batten protection
