Frequently Asked Questions

How to find a reliable fiber optic cable manufacturer in China?

You can identify a reliable fiber optic cable manufacturer by checking for certifications such as ISO9001, CE, and RoHS, and by reviewing their insertion loss and return loss test reports.
Ask whether the factory performs OTDR testing and end-face inspection for connectors, which are key indicators of optical quality.
A qualified supplier should have its own production workshop, offer OEM services, and provide sample testing before mass order.
Geteknet operates as a verified fiber optic OEM factory, ensuring every cable meets international performance standards.

What certifications should a network cabling supplier have to ensure quality?

Top-level suppliers should comply with UL, ETL, CE, and ISO9001 standards. These certifications guarantee safety, performance, and consistent manufacturing quality. Geteknet conducts 100% inspection and Fluke testing on every batch to ensure stable signal transmission and PoE performance.

What’s the difference between Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6a, Cat7, and Cat8 cables?

Each category offers different bandwidth and frequency performance.

  • Cat5e: 100 MHz, up to 1 Gbps

  • Cat6: 250 MHz, up to 1 Gbps

  • Cat6a: 500 MHz, up to 10 Gbps

  • Cat7/Cat8: higher shielding, up to 40 Gbps for data centers
    Geteknet provides OEM Cat5e–Cat8 copper cables, customizable for UL-rated or non-UL projects.

How to choose between UTP, FTP, and SFTP cables?

It depends on the installation environment.

  • UTP (unshielded): economical, for general office networks

  • FTP: one foil layer, reduces EMI

  • SFTP: braid + foil, ideal for high-interference areas like factories
    As a professional network cable factory, Geteknet produces all shielding types with strict twisting balance and anti-noise performance.

What is the difference between OEM and ODM services for network cabinet suppliers?

  • OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturing): we produce according to your design, drawing, and specifications.

  • ODM (Original Design Manufacturing): we design and manufacture based on your concept or brand idea.
    Geteknet offers both OEM & ODM for network cabinets, wall racks, and PDU units, supporting custom dimensions, color, logo printing, and packaging.

How can I evaluate a fiber optic accessories supplier before cooperation?

Check the supplier’s sample quality, test reports, and factory scale. Reliable suppliers offer samples, clear QC processes, and accept third-party inspection. Geteknet welcomes customer audits and provides detailed testing documentation for connectors, pigtails, patch panels, and ODF units.

What are the lead times for OEM production and delivery?

Lead times depend on product type and order volume:

  • Fiber & copper cables: 15–30 days

  • Cabinets & enclosures: 25–40 days
    Geteknet maintains ready raw materials and flexible production scheduling, ensuring faster delivery for urgent projects.
