SGT Statement of Compliance to Build America Buy America Act – BEAD

Fiber and fiber optic cable have been defined as construction materials, meaning 100% of the product is required to be manufactured in the United States of America. It is our understanding that to meet this requirement, specifically for BEAD:

Fiber Preforms must be manufactured in the U.S.
Fiber Optic Glass must use preforms that meet requirement one and be drawn in the U.S.
Fiber Optic Cable must use fiber that meets requirements one and two and complete the buffer, jacket, and strand manufacturing process in the U.S.

This differs from the final guidance provided by OMB as the DOC has waived the requirement for the Overclad Cylinder to be manufactured in the USA.

Salient Global Technologies can meet all three of these requirements at our facility in Dallas, TX.

Salient Global Technologies offers a complete line of fiber optic data connectivity solutions. SGT fiber optic Jumpers and Trunks use high-quality connectors and cables featuring Corning glass. Manufactured in the USA, SGT cable assemblies are 100% tested to comply with industry standards for optical, mechanical, and environmental performance.

We are AS9100D, ISO 9001:2015, MBE & NATE Certified.

This is not a complete list of all BABA-compliant products. Products will continue to be added and reviewed over time. The absence of a product (SKU) from this list does not indicate that it is not compliant.
