In optical cable packaging, common marks and labels include the following types:
Product name and model: Clearly indicate the name and model of the optical cable, such as GYTA-12B1, which indicates an outdoor metal heavy-duty reinforcing component polyethylene bonded sheath aluminum tape shielded communication optical cable, containing 12-core single-mode optical fiber.
Specification parameters: including the number of cores of the optical cable, the type of optical fiber (single-mode or multi-mode), the type of optical fiber (such as G.652 conventional single-mode optical fiber), etc.
Length and weight: Mark the net weight and gross weight of the optical cable, as well as the standard reel length of the optical cable, such as 1km, 2km, etc.
Production date and batch number: Record the production date and batch information of the optical cable to facilitate the traceability of product quality.
Warning sign: It reminds the operators to be aware that the optical fibers in the optical cable may cause harm to the human body, such as pricking the skin or eyes. Therefore, caution should be exercised when handling the optical cable.
Handling and rolling direction indication: Indicate the correct rolling direction of the cable reel or cable tube to prevent damage to the optical cable due to incorrect handling.
A/B end marking: It indicates the starting end (A end) and the ending end (B end) of the optical cable, facilitating the correct identification of the direction of the optical cable during laying and connection.
Optical cable coding: Assign a unique code to optical cables to facilitate identification and tracking during management and maintenance.
Project number and section information: In some cases, the optical cable packaging will also be marked with the project number and the start and end section information of the optical cable to facilitate management and scheduling in large-scale engineering projects.
Test records and certificates of conformity: Some optical cable packages may contain test records or certificates of conformity, which prove that the optical cables have undergone strict testing and quality inspection before leaving the factory.
Take the label on a certain optical cable package as an example, it may contain the following information:
Product Name: GYTA Optical Cable
Model: GYTA-48B1
Specification: 48-core single-mode optical fiber, G.652 class
Length: 2 kilometers
Weight: Net weight XXkg, gross weight XXkg
Production date: XXXX year XX month XX day
Batch number: XXXXXX
Warning sign: Be careful of the optical fiber and avoid punctures
Handling direction: The arrow indicates the correct rolling direction
A/B end marking: A/B end is clearly marked
When purchasing optical cables, carefully check the marks and label information on the packaging to ensure that the purchased optical cables meet the project requirements. Also, pay attention to the integrity of the optical cable packaging to prevent damage during transportation and storage.
