Phononic’s state-of-the-art TECs are quickly becoming the fiber-optic industry’s go-to cooling architecture—and with good reason. Over the past five years, Phononic has deployed more than 40 million TECs in the fi eld—achieving unprecedented reliability with zero recalls and fi eld failure rates below our internal target of 10 DPPM. Phononic TECs can currently be found in 40% of data center and datacom infrastructure in North American—a percentage that is 

only rising as data centers continue to evolve to meet today’s skyrocketing data demands.  These exceptional outcomes are the result of Phononic’s deliberate commitment to rigorous quality and reliability standards, with a powerful Quality Management System (QMS) as its backbone. 

For Phononic, developing and implementing a strong QMS goes beyond the need to meet industry standards. Rather, it’s about building a foundation for reliability, customer satisfaction, regulatory compliance, competitive advantage, and continuous improvement. With decades of experience, Phononic’s industry-leading engineering team prioritizes quality of design at every stage of development, providing production-quality samples for testing to ensure our TECs meet the rigorous qualifi cation demands of high-speed data centers and other critical applications. In fact, we are the only in the industry to adhere to a 100% electrical testing of thermoelectric performance of all manufactured components. 

To ensure Phononic’s manufacturing process meets and exceeds our own rigorous demands, we developed and implemented a robust QMS, as well as impeccable Environmental Management System (EMS).
