Certification

Quality under Control

Certification – why?

The brand R&M obliges.

R&M works exclusively with assembly houses that self-imposed high-quality standards.

Quality is checked and certified annually / biennially by testing a small production series produced by our connector customers.

Benefits for the connector customers

The certification assures our customers of R&M connectors, that their production process is stable.

R&M shares findings from our production on how to produce more efficiently or with higher quality with our certified customers.

Benefits for end customers

Assembly houses certified by R&M produce patch cords and assembled cables according to a high-quality level.

Therefore, connectors such as E-2000, LC-QR, or MPO-QR, which go into applications with high demands on the reliability of the mated connection in operation, we sold to certified assembly houses only.

Scope of tests

By default, the recertification test includes:

  • visual inspection of the connector
  • ferrule length
  • IL / RL (Grade C)
  • interferometry measurement
  • Tensile test according to IEC / according to R&M (higher tensile strength)
  • others?

In consultation with the connector customers, the test scope can be extended.
