Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If fitted with electrical connectors and containing copper conductors
Cables with both optical and significant electrical components fitted with connectors classify under electric conductor subheadings.
If loose bundles of optical fibers not individually sheathed into cable form
Unmade-up fiber bundles without individual sheathing fall under Chapter 90 optical elements.
If plastic tubing marketed solely as protective conduit, not containing sheathed fibers
Empty plastic tubes for later fiber installation are flexible plastic tubing, not optical fiber cables.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Specify OM3 designation and bandwidth specs in invoices; plenum-rated cables require fire safety certification documentation; avoid misdeclaring as electrical cable if no copper conductors present
