Optical Connectivity is pleased to announce our status as the first manufacturer of fiber optic jumper products to carry the designation of "UL Listed" at the assembly level, under Underwriters Laboratories Category QBFA Subject 2410 program.

UL Listing adds benefit and value to our OEM customers, especially as fiber jumpers move "inside the box" and become a critical component in overall UL certification for systems. While some competitors claim UL Recognition of fiber jumpers under the old Copper Wiring Harness program, Optical Connectivity is the first to implement this new UL program, designed specifically for fiber products.

Our listed jumper and trunk portfolio includes assemblies made with any combination of MTP®, SMC, LC, ESCON, FC, SC, ST and MT-RJ connectors. This Underwriters Laboratories Subject 2410 program, QBFA category covers factory assembled optical fiber cable assemblies and connector products. They are intended for residential and/or commercial applications as part of an optical fiber wiring system.

Optical fiber cable assemblies consist of Listed optical fiber cable and optical fiber cable connectors and are intended for use in accordance with Article770 of NFPA 70, "National Electrical Code (NEC). According to Article 770, the restrictions that apply to the cables used in these assemblies also apply to the complete cable assemblies.

These assemblies have not been evaluated for use in environmental air spaces, in accordance with Section 300-22(b) and (c) of the NEC unless specifically marked for the application.
