1. Introduction The tested batch of 3.0mm PVC-Sheathed ST/PC type pigtail assemblies/jumper cable assemblies has passed the Fibercons service life testing program based on Telcordia GR-326-CORE, issus3, September 1999. The primary goal of this test program is not only to confirm the optical performance of the components, but also determine the performance of the components under severe environmental and mechanical conditions.

2. Samples A population of twenty test samples, fifteen(15)pigtail assemblies and five(5)jumper cable assemblies are randomly collected from production line. The sample numbers and the product ID of the samples are listed in Table 1.

1. Introduction The tested batch of 3.0mm PVC-Sheathed SC/PC type pigtail assemblies/jumper cable assemblies has passed the Fibercons service life testing program based on Telcordia GR-326-CORE, issus3, September 1999. The primary goal of this test program is not only to confirm the optical performance of the components, but also determine the performance of the components under severe environmental and mechanical conditions.

2. Samples A population of twenty test samples, fifteen(15)pigtail assemblies and five(5)jumper cable assemblies are randomly collected from production line. The sample numbers and the product ID of the samples are listed in Table 1.

1. Introduction The tested batch of 3.0mm PVC-Sheathed LC/PC type pigtail assemblies/jumper cable assemblies has passed the Fibercons service life testing program based on Telcordia GR-326-CORE, issus3, September 1999. The primary goal of this test program is not only to confirm the optical performance of the components, but also determine the performance of the components under severe environmental and mechanical conditions.

2. Samples A population of twenty test samples, fifteen(15)pigtail assemblies and five(5)jumper cable assemblies are randomly collected from production line. The sample numbers and the product ID of the samples are listed in Table 1.

1. Introduction The tested batch of 3.0mm PVC-Sheathed FC/PC type pigtail assemblies/jumper cable assemblies has passed the Fibercons service life testing program based on Telcordia GR-326-CORE, issus3, September 1999. The primary goal of this test program is not only to confirm the optical performance of the components, but also determine the performance of the components under severe environmental and mechanical conditions.

2. Samples A population of twenty test samples, fifteen(15)pigtail assemblies and five(5)jumper cable assemblies are randomly collected from production line. The sample numbers and the product ID of the samples are listed in Table 1.
