Certification Process

1) Send production samples
2) Testing and evaluation
4) Factory inspection and evaluation
5) Documentation

Samples to be supplied:

Production samples: 10 pcs of patch cords with min length and 10 pcs of patch cords with max length.

Test programme

Electrical performance:
Return loss, NEXT, wire map, current carrying capacity, and transfer impedance for screened patch cords

Testing conditions:
Initial, "o" configuration, "0" configuration, and "8" configuration

The factory inspection:

The factory inspection will take place over one or two days, during which we evaluate the QA system:
1) We evaluate the Quality Manual
2) We inspect the production line
3) We evaluate internal test results

Usually there will be time left over during the inspection to have a discussion of general points, e.g. standardisation, market development, test methods, etc.

Maintenance of Qualification

Two (2) annual follow-up factory inspections will be required each year to maintain a full production line qualification. For each qualified type, ten (10) production samples of patch cords with minimum length and ten (10) with maximum length will be selected during the inspection for testing at 3P.
