About fibre optic cable manufacturing services
cpc code 88753 covers the manufacturing services for fibre optic cables, a critical component in modern telecommunications infrastructure. Fibre optic cables are essential for transmitting large volumes of data at high speeds over long distances, enabling high-speed internet, digital television, and other advanced communication services. This industry plays a vital role in supporting the digital economy and the increasing demand for reliable, high-bandwidth connectivity worldwide.
Production process
The production of fibre optic cables involves several key steps. First, the optical fibres are manufactured by drawing thin strands of pure glass or plastic from a preform. These fibres are then coated with protective layers to prevent damage. Next, the coated fibres are bundled together and enclosed within an outer sheath, typically made of plastic or metal, to create the complete fibre optic cable. Advanced techniques, such as cabling, stranding, and armoring, may be used to enhance the cable's durability and performance.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for fibre optic cable manufacturing include the raw materials for the optical fibres, such as high-purity silica glass or specialty plastics. Manufacturers also require various coating materials, including acrylates and polyimides, as well as the sheathing materials, such as polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), or metal alloys. Specialized machinery, including fibre drawing towers, cabling equipment, and testing instruments, are essential for the production process.
Production outputs
The primary output of this industry is fibre optic cables, which are then consumed by a range of other industries and applications. These cables are used in 517110 Wired Telecommunications Carriers, 517210 (Wireless Telecommunications Carriers (except Satellite)), and 515120 Television Broadcasting, among others, to enable high-speed data transmission and communication services. The fibre optic cables produced under this code may also be used in 334413 Semiconductor and Related Device Manufacturing and 334419 Other Electronic Component Manufacturing for various electronic and optoelectronic applications.
