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 MOQ is 1 km. This reflects setup needs such as wire and jacket die adjustments that consume start-up material and 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.
Aerial, Duct, And Direct-Buried Installation Considerations
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 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.
| Installation scenario | Main feature | Field note |
|---|---|---|
| Aerial span | Messenger support with steel or FRP | Check tension and messenger hardware |
| Conduit route | Smooth jacket and crush resistance | Use pull tape and proper lubricant |
| Direct-buried | Moisture-resistant PE jacket | Observe burial depth and warning tape rules |
| Indoor | Low-smoke jacket and bend support | Avoid sharp bends at wall passes |
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.
