The service team provides production updates and tracking details so installers know when reels will arrive. For tight schedules, we hold contingency capacity to accelerate critical-path orders.
Minimum Order Quantity And Its Importance
The minimum order quantity is 1 km. This reflects setup needs such as wire and jacket die adjustments that consume start-up material and 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 Readiness And Use Scenarios
Site conditions dictate whether a self-supporting span, duct pull, or direct-buried run is the best fit for a project.
Aerial, Duct, And Direct-Buried Installation 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 perform best with low-friction jackets and crush-resistant constructs so pulling does not damage fibers. PE jackets are common for underground and buried paths where moisture resistance matters.
Direct-buried designs require proper depth control per local codes and moisture-resistant jackets to protect the optic core over time.
Indoor Riser And Plenum Distribution With ONT Termination
Indoor riser and plenum routes favor LSZH jackets to meet flame and smoke rules. Flat drop cable forms strip cleanly and provide controlled strength stubs for fast ONT termination.
Selection of steel or FRP dielectric strength members is guided by bonding requirements, lightning exposure, and hardware compatibility. Standardized production-line preparation helps shorten installation time and reduce scrap.
| Scenario | Important feature | Installation tip |
|---|---|---|
| Aerial | Messenger support with steel or FRP | Confirm span tension and fittings |
| Conduit route | Pull-friendly jacket and crush protection | Use pull tape and proper lubricant |
| Direct-buried | Moisture-resistant PE jacket | Follow local depth and warning tape rules |
| Indoor | LSZH jacket, tight bend support | Protect bend radius through penetrations |
Our approach ensures a consistent install experience across indoor outdoor transitions. The result is fewer callbacks, faster activations, and more dependable field performance for the system.
