Hongbiao MFi-related testing laboratory is established and operated in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025 quality management system requirements. It is a third-party technical service platform dedicated to pre-compliance testing, problem analysis, and remediation verification for MFi ecosystem accessories.
The laboratory is equipped with various testing instruments covering MFi-related product categories, including cable electrical performance testing, power supply/charger electrical parameter testing, audio product testing, smart home protocol testing, in-vehicle connectivity testing, and locator testing, helping clients identify and resolve technical issues during R&D and pre-production stages.
The following are the main testing instruments configured in the laboratory (continuously updated):
Cable TesterMeasures connectivity, DC resistance, signal integrity, over-voltage protection, quiescent current, and power test unit parameters for Lightning cables and other wire harnesses. |
Vector Network Analyzer (4-Port)Measures signal attenuation and differential impedance for various cable types (HDMI, USB 2.0/3.0/3.1, Lightning cables, etc.). |
Digital Multimeter / Programmable Electronic LoadMeasures output voltage, port output parameters, over-voltage protection, and pass-through charging performance for power banks, adapters, and other products. |
Vision Measurement SystemPrecisely measures whether the soft-panel dimensions of Lightning connector heads fall within specification tolerances. |
Automatic Tension/Compression TesterMeasures the compression resistance curve of cable connector heads to verify compliance with specification limits. |
Protocol Testing Software PlatformSupports iAP2 protocol products and HomeKit smart home products with HAP protocol testing, including HAT test cases and BCT test cases. |
