Fiber Optic Cable Assemblies

Compared to off-the-shelf solutions, our U.S.-made fiber optic cable assemblies and services give you numerous benefits that make your job easier and more efficient, including:

• Tailored Precision — We can manufacture optical fiber cables at precise lengths to reduce the risk of signal loss, prevent slack and streamline cable management. This is especially important in rack environments and tight enclosures.
• Full Collaboration — Our engineering teams work closely with you to review drawings and make material or connector recommendations based on your use case, performance requirements or installation method. We can accommodate the need for prototypes, first article approval and RoHS-compliant builds.
• Clean Manufacturing Environment — Our dedicated space for fiber optic cable assembly fabrication is kept to the highest standards of cleanliness, preventing contamination and maintaining optimal signal performance. This makes us the go-to provider for high-precision applications.
• Certified Quality Control — Every fiber optic cable we produce is subject to the most rigorous quality control protocols, including 100% continuity testing, visual inspections and in-process auditing. We also maintain comprehensive records for full traceability.
• Fast Turnaround and Domestic Production — Our production is based in Illinois, which means we can provide faster turnaround than overseas suppliers. Whether you have just-in-time projects, small-run jobs or rapidly evolving specs, we have the means to support you.

Customized fiber optic patch cables give you more flexibility and freedom in your designs while also providing optimized performance over standardized products. When you choose Casco Manufacturing for your custom cables, you will experience:

• Built-to-Spec Precision — Whether you supply us your own drawings or collaborate with our engineers, we can deliver cables cut to precise lengths, optimal connector pairings and pinouts that match your highly specific environments.
• Connector and Cable Type Selection — We won’t try to pigeon-hole you into a one-size-fits-all solution. We support a wide range of connector types including ST, LC and SC, as well as cable constructions including simplex, duplex, multi-strand and more. We can mix and match these components to meet your performance and environmental requirements.
• Labeling and Identification Options — With barcodes, color-coded sleeves, serial numbers or your own supplied labeling standards, Casco makes it easy to integrate assemblies, complete diagnostics and perform faster field maintenance.
• Bundling, Kitting and Packaging — We can pre-bundle your fiber assemblies — including pulling eyes — or deliver full kits with fiber plus related harness components. This means we can support lean manufacturing, organized installs and easier on-site logistics.
• Environmental and Regulatory Compliance — Our fiber optic assemblies can be made with RoHS-compliant materials upon request, and we support documentation and component traceability requirements that are common in regulated industries such as medical and defense.
• Prototyping and Engineering Support — We can handle low-volume prototype builds, provide first article inspection and collaborate with your engineering team to refine specs. At the same time, we maintain fast lead times and robust QC processes.

Our custom fiber optic cable assemblies can be tailored to fit into a wide range of use cases and applications. We can support numerous situations, from data centers to telecommunications infrastructure to industrial manufacturing connections to medical intra-device communication. When it comes to performance-critical environments that require high bandwidth, low signal loss and electromagnetic immunity, our fiber patch cords fit the bill.

No matter what our customers need, we deliver tailored solutions. Whatever cable lengths, fiber connectors or labeling they require, they can count on us to meet their specs and support their builds or retrofits. Our flexible domestic capabilities also give us the ability to meet short-run, high-mix scenarios that often go ignored by other fiber optic harness manufacturers.
