Fiber-to-the-antenna (FTTA) is a wireless site architecture where optical fiber is run all the way up the tower to replace those traditionally completed with heavier coax cabling. Important components such as remote radio units (RRUs) are also positioned at the top of the tower instead of that at the base location. FTTA solutions from FiberMania provide cable connectivity and electrical protection for remote radio head (RRH) equipment placed on cellular towers, rooftops, and other structures. Our cable connectivity is mainly about FTTA patch cord which in our selection consists of two single mode fibers. At one end fibers are terminated to IP series waterproof connectors and at the other end are regular connectors compatible with RRU interface such as LC duplex. We can either provide factory assembled patch cables, or we can offer you connectors for your site's fast installation, we carry IP series, ODVA, OptiTap, H connector, ODC, RDC, AARC, FullAXS, RFE, IP-FX, Mini-SC, PDLC, NSN, and other field tactical connector types.

Quality Testing Program
IL and RL Testing
Conduct testing on the insertion loss and return loss of cables to verify their reach and ensure stable signal transmission.
3D Interferometer Testing
Evaluate the connectors or ferrules of cables to verify that the apex offset, radius of curvature, and fiber height are within the specified parameters, ensuring a successful connection of fiber optic lines.
End-Face Inspection
Examine the connector end face for any scratches, defects, or contamination to ensure the tips remain clean. This practice enhances communication quality and reliability, thereby contributing to network uptime.

FAQ
Q1: What is the warranty of FiberMania's fiber patch cord?
A: FiberMania warrants that all fiber patch cords supplied are free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of
five (5) years from the date of supply. All fiber optic bulk cables are UL profiled and every single cable is 100% tested.
Q2: Is it possible to customize our brand information on your fiber cable?
A: Yes, we can print your brand name onto our cable jacket and 1KM total cable length is requested.
Q3: Can you do 3D interferometer test?
A: Yes, we do the 3D test per our customer's request, we can have the pass rate over 90% and even 100% if necessary.
Q4: What is your MOQ of your products?
A: We only have MOQ for some special customized cable order, we request 1km as the total length of the bulk cable, you may
consider stock the bulk cable with us for your urgent order production.
Q5: Are free samples available from you?
A: Yes, we are always happy to offer the free samples for all of our customers' projects provided that the total cost is under
50 US dollars.
