Insulated wire and cable; optical fibre cables
CPC v2.1 Code: 463
About insulated wire and cable; optical fibre cables
cpc code 463 covers the production of insulated wire, cable, and optical fibre cables. These products are essential components in a wide range of industries, from construction and telecommunications to automotive and electronics manufacturing. The insulated wire and cable industry plays a crucial role in the broader economy, enabling the reliable transmission of power and data across various applications.
Production process
The main production techniques used in this industry involve the extrusion of insulating materials around a conductive core, such as copper or aluminum. Optical fibre cables are produced by drawing thin strands of glass or plastic and then coating them with protective layers. Advanced techniques like cabling, stranding, and shielding are also employed to enhance the performance and durability of the final products.
Production inputs
The key inputs required for the insulated wire and cable industry include raw materials such as copper, aluminum, plastic resins, and optical fibre. Specialized machinery, such as extruders, cabling machines, and drawing towers, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, the industry relies on skilled labor and advanced technologies to ensure consistent quality and efficiency.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of cpc code 463 are insulated wire, cable, and optical fibre cables.
