Optical fibres, optical fibre bundles and cables; excluding those of heading no. 8544

HS v2017 Code: 900110

About optical fibres, optical fibre bundles and cables; excluding those of heading no. 8544

hs code 900110 covers the import and export of optical fibres, optical fibre bundles, and cables, excluding those classified under heading 8544. This industry plays a crucial role in the global telecommunications and data transmission infrastructure, enabling the high-speed transfer of information across vast distances. As the demand for reliable and high-capacity data networks continues to grow, the 900110 industry is essential for supporting the digital economy and facilitating international trade and communication.

Production process

The production of optical fibres, bundles, and cables involves several key steps. First, high-purity glass or plastic materials are drawn into thin, flexible strands known as optical fibres. These fibres are then bundled together and encased in protective sheaths or jackets, forming optical fibre bundles and cables. The manufacturing process requires precise control over the fibre composition, diameter, and cladding to ensure optimal light transmission and signal integrity.

Production inputs

The 900110 industry relies on a range of raw materials and specialized equipment. Key inputs include high-purity silica glass, polymers, and other optical-grade materials used to fabricate the fibres. Specialized machinery, such as fibre drawing towers, cabling equipment, and testing instruments, are also essential for the production and quality control of optical fibre products.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the 900110 industry are optical fibres, optical fibre bundles, and cables, which are used in a variety of applications. These products are often consumed by industries classified under 851770 Optical fibre cables, 851790 Parts of electrical apparatus for line telephony or line telegraphy, and 854470 Optical fibre cables, among others, as they form the backbone of modern telecommunications and data transmission networks.
