The service team provides production updates and tracking details so installers know when reels will arrive. For urgent schedules, contingency capacity can help accelerate critical-path orders.
MOQ And Why It Matters
The MOQ is 1 km. This accounts for setup needs, including wire and jacket die adjustments, that use start-up material and create scrap.
We review your length and staging plans to choose reel sizes that cut waste and handling. Batch releases can balance inventory holding with frequent, smaller deliveries to job sites.
Installation Readiness And Use Scenarios
Project site conditions determine whether self-supporting aerial span, duct pull, or direct-buried installation is the right fit.
Deployment Considerations For Aerial, Duct, And Direct-Buried Routes
For aerial runs, Shanghai Weiye OFC Equipment recommends self-supporting designs with correct strength members to control sag and tension for long-term reliability.
Duct installations work best with low-friction jackets and crush-resistant structures that help protect fibers during pulling. PE jackets are commonly used for underground and buried routes where moisture resistance is important.
Direct-buried designs need proper burial depth according to local codes and moisture-resistant jackets to protect the optical core over time.
Indoor Riser And Plenum Distribution With ONT Termination
Indoor riser and plenum routes usually use LSZH jackets to satisfy flame and smoke requirements. 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.
| Application | Key feature | Installer note |
|---|---|---|
| Aerial | Self-supporting strength member | Confirm span tension and fittings |
| Duct | Pull-friendly jacket and crush protection | Avoid excessive pulling force |
| Buried route | Moisture-resistant PE jacket | Observe burial depth and warning tape rules |
| Indoor distribution | Low-smoke jacket and bend support | Maintain bend radius at wall 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.
