Lightera has the capability to color and splice ocean fibers to meet stringent cable requirements. Fibers are selected to meet customer specifications for numbers of fibers, colors, lengths, and transmission properties. They are then assembled into sets. Final measurements guarantee customer specified performance for all fibers in the set.
