October 2024 — Question 37

Which merchandise described below is CLASSIFIED under 8536.70.0000?

• AThis unit is a 2" plastic cube with a single crimping tube through the cube. A single multi-strand fibre optic cable is pushed through the crimping tube which stabilizes the cable allowing fibre optic cable to be split into smaller strands which allows the signal to be split and connected to multiple devices.
• BThis unit is a 4" plastic cube with color-coded input and output ports on opposite ends of the cube. Each port contains a clamping tube into which the end of the fibre optic cable is inserted. Fibre optic bundles of colors matching the color-coded ports are inserted into the input and output ports. The purpose of the cube is to align the optical fibres end-to-end in a line. The cube does not amplify or modify the signal carried by the fibre optic bundles.✓ CBP's answer
• CThis unit is a rectangular 4"x3"x2" plastic box with a single port at each end. The box contains a signal amplifying integrated circuit which is used to increase the incoming signal from the optical fiber bundle inserted into the incoming port of the box and send the amplified signal through the optical fiber bundle inserted into the outgoing port of the box.
• DThis unit is an 8"x8"x2" metal box with four (4) banks of optical fibre ports. The box contains multiple signal repeating integrated circuits which are used to boost the signal quality of the incoming signal from the optical fiber bundle before the signal exits through the outgoing fibre optic bundles.
