(MEFC) is a Saudi-Japanese (Fujikura) partnership located in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. MEFC has established itself as the leader in manufacturing fiber optic cables, and solution provider for the telecommunications and industrial sectors in MENA. Their production capacity allows them to handle the massive volume requirements of the Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) and STC.

A fiber-optic cable, also known as an optical-fiber cable, is an assembly similar to an but containing one or more that are used to carry light. It is typically made from polyethylene (PE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), or thermoplastic elastomers, depending on the specific requirements of the installation. This core is then covered with protective layers of materials such as aluminum, Kevlar, and polyethylene (the cladding). A fiber optic cable is composed of five core elements: Every hardware component has a specific function for proper signal transfer, construction resilience, and environmental defense.

To ensure your cable tray system operates securely and complies with NEC standards, grounding and bonding are essential steps to follow. If an EGC cable is installed in or on a cable tray, it should be bonded to each or alternate cable tray sections via grounding clamps (this is not required by the NEC® but it is a desirable practice). Cable tray grounding wire is the safety connection that links your electrical system's cable tray to the ground.

Run a minimum 14 AWG copper grounding wire (or as specified by local code) from the bonding clamp to the nearest grounding electrode or equipment grounding bus. Keep this conductor as short and direct as possible — avoid sharp bends that increase impedance. Follow these steps at each cable entry point and termination location to achieve a compliant, safe ground bond: Identify metallic components. Strip back approximately 6–8 inches of the outer jacket using a cable slitter or ringing tool. "Safety reasons" are the explanation, and, when pressed, National Electrical Safety Code (NESC) Rule 99 is cited.
