FTTH Cable Production
Shanghai Weiye OFC Equipment coordinates each manufacturing step with network specifications while combining brand fiber options and strict testing routines.
Selecting Optical Fiber And Brand Options
We match optical fiber to bend radius, attenuation, and deployment type. Available options include OS1, OS2, OM2–OM4, ITU-T G.652D, and G.657.A1/A2. Brand fibers such as Fujikura and Corning SMF-28e are available to meet procurement standards.
Strength Member Installation
Strength members use dielectric FRP or metallic steel wire. FRP works well where non-conductive cable runs are needed. Steel wire provides extra tensile strength for longer aerial spans and bonding or grounding requirements.
Jacket Extrusion With Process Control
Jacket options include LSZH for indoor flame safety, PVC for flexibility, and PE for outdoor UV and moisture resistance. Tight process control of temperature and capstan ratios supports line speed and dimensional tolerances.
| Component | FRP | Metallic steel wire |
|---|---|---|
| Use case | Non-conductive runs | Long aerial spans, higher tensile needs |
| Advantage | Lightweight, inert | Strong tensile support |
| Field note | Easier terminations | Needs proper grounding practice |
Inline And Final Testing
Geometry and concentricity checks are performed inline during manufacturing. Final optical tests verify attenuation and return loss. Each order ships with a 100% test report and lab results from high-temperature, salt-spray, and vibration trials to confirm handling for drop terminations and field use.
Lead times are typically 4–5 days for orders below 100 km and 7–10 days for orders below 500 km. Material lot records and first-article approvals support traceability and compliance for U.S. projects.
FTTH Drop Cable Types, Designs, And Structures
Shanghai Weiye OFC Equipment manufactures a compact portfolio of drop designs that suit both tight indoor routes and exposed aerial spans. Every option combines tested materials with geometry designed for field termination and stable optical performance.
Bow-Type Flat Cable For Indoor Distribution
The bow-type flat drop cable reduces footprint for risers and conduit. It keeps bend loss low for easy routing in hallways and MDUs.
Self-Supporting Designs For Aerial Spans
Self-supporting ftth drop designs include a messenger element to carry tensile loads. Dielectric FRP is available for non-conductive routes, while steel wire is suitable when bonding and additional tensile strength are needed.
Core Layouts And Strength Member Options
Dielectric and metallic strength member configurations are available to meet safety and EMI requirements. Center loose tube and unitube flat designs balance crush resistance with fiber access for faster termination.
Indoor And Outdoor Jacket Options
Jacket choices include LSZH for flame-retardant, low-smoke indoor use and PE for outdoor UV and moisture resilience. Each family is validated for mechanical and optical quality before shipment.
| Cable design | Best use | Support member | Jacket |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bow-type flat | Indoor distribution and MDUs | FRP (dielectric) | Low-smoke LSZH |
| Self-supporting | Pole-to-premise spans | FRP or steel wire | Outdoor PE |
| Center-tube design | Larger fiber-count needs | FRP | Indoor or outdoor sheath |
| Flat unitube | Low-count, easy strip | Steel wire or FRP | LSZH/PE |

The CLX-BPO2 can strip LSZH and PVC jackets, with adjustable jacket strip length from 17.5 to 35.0 mm. Reserved strength member stubs can be set from 7.0 to 11.0 mm to fit common termination hardware.
FRP And Steel Wire Strength Member Handling
The machine cleanly cuts FRP and steel wire strength elements while protecting adjacent fibers. Customized cutters are available for nonstandard sizes to preserve precision.
- Automatic waste ejection and sensor-triggered starting help reduce idle time.
- A compact size of L40 × W18 × H18 cm, 110–220V power, 50W rating, and 11 kg weight make workcell integration easier.
- Cylinder-driven movement and PLC/photoelectric control help improve reliability and reduce maintenance interruptions.
| Specification | Rated value | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Operating cycle | ~1.5 s (~20/min) | High throughput for production runs |
| Adjustable strip length (A) | 17.5–35.0 mm | Fits common connector processes |
| Reserved member stub (B) | 7.0 mm to 11.0 mm | Meets strength and termination needs |

| Vibration | Resistance to handling stress | Lower failure risk |
Pricing And Cost Drivers For FTTH Drop Cable
Planning the budget for a drop cable run begins with fiber and jacket choices, then adjusts for volume and customization.
Pricing can vary widely, from about $30 to $1,000 per unit, depending on fiber grade, jacket material, length, and structure.
Fiber Grade, Jacket Type, Structure, And Material Choices
The primary cost drivers are fiber optic grade, jacket material, and the structural type chosen for deployment.
Self-supporting designs and steel reinforcement can increase material and labor requirements. Custom colors, logos, and print legends may add setup time and affect pricing, especially for short runs.
Order Length, Volume, And Customization Impact On Price
Longer reels and higher volume orders lower unit cost. Small quantities often carry setup fees and higher per-unit charges.
- Machine changeovers and special cutters can increase lead time and cost.
- Clear RFQs and line scheduling let Shanghai Weiye OFC Equipment align price quotes to delivery windows.
- Framework agreements and indexed pricing stabilize budgets across phases.
| Cost factor | Price impact | Suggested approach |
|---|---|---|
| Fiber specification | High impact | Match performance to budget |
| Jacket material | Moderate impact | Evaluate LSZH, PVC, and PE by route |
| Cable quantity and reel length | High impact | Combine orders where practical |
Lead Time, MOQ, And United States Delivery
Shanghai Weiye OFC Equipment clarifies lead times and logistics so planners can coordinate crews and job sites. Predictable windows reduce downtime and help control cost when a rollout is underway.
Typical Production Windows And Capacity Planning
Typical production windows are 4–5 days for orders below 100 km and 7–10 days for orders below 500 km. We schedule line capacity to match your rollout milestones and to keep deliveries on time.
The service team issues production updates and tracking so installation teams know when reels arrive. For urgent schedules, contingency capacity can help accelerate critical-path orders.
MOQ And Why It Matters
The minimum order quantity is 1 km. This accounts for setup needs, including wire and jacket die adjustments, that use start-up material and create scrap.
Length and staging plans are reviewed to choose reel sizes that reduce waste and handling. Batch releases can balance inventory holding with frequent, smaller deliveries to job sites.
Installation Preparation And Application Scenarios
Project site conditions determine whether self-supporting aerial span, duct pull, or direct-buried installation is the right fit.
Aerial, Duct, And Direct-Buried Deployment Considerations
For aerial routes, Shanghai Weiye OFC Equipment recommends self-supporting designs with suitable strength members to manage sag, tension, and long-term reliability.
Duct installations work best with low-friction jackets and crush-resistant structures that help protect fibers during pulling. PE jackets are common for underground and buried paths where moisture resistance matters.
Direct-buried designs need proper burial depth according to local codes and moisture-resistant jackets to protect the optical core over time.
Indoor Riser/Plenum Distribution And ONT Termination
Indoor riser and plenum routes favor LSZH jackets to meet flame and smoke rules. Flat drop cable forms strip cleanly and present controlled strength stubs for quick ONT termination.
We guide the choice of steel or FRP (dielectric) strength members based on bonding needs, lightning exposure, and hardware compatibility. Standardized prep from the production line shortens install time and reduces scrap.
| Application | Main feature | Installation tip |
|---|---|---|
| Aerial | Messenger support with steel or FRP | Check tension and messenger hardware |
| Conduit route | Pull-friendly jacket and crush protection | Avoid excessive pulling force |
| Direct-buried | Outdoor PE moisture protection | Follow local depth and warning tape rules |
| Indoor | LSZH sheath with bend control | Maintain bend radius at wall penetrations |
Our approach ensures a consistent install experience across indoor outdoor transitions. That leads to fewer callbacks, faster activations, and reliable field performance for your system.
