Electrastar have now completed a project to terminate and test 1600 fibre Optic ends. The London based project consisted of 25 cross site cable links for a key client. The 32 core cables, consisted of a mixture of Singlemode and Multimode fibres using ST and SC terminations.
The client's specified testing parameters meant that every core had to be tested bi-directional and also dual wavelength.
