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

HS v2022 Code: 900110

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

HS code 900110 covers 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 and reliable transfer of information across vast distances. As the demand for faster and more efficient data networks continues to grow, the importance of this industry within the broader economy is only expected to increase.

Production process

The production of optical fibres, bundles, and cables typically involves a multi-step process. 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 specific techniques used, such as the choice of materials, fibre-drawing methods, and cable construction, can vary depending on the intended application and performance requirements.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of optical fibres, bundles, and cables include high-purity glass or plastic raw materials, specialized machinery for fibre drawing and cable manufacturing, and various protective coatings and sheaths. Additionally, the industry relies on advanced optical and electronic components, as well as precision engineering and quality control processes to ensure the reliability and performance of the final products.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of this industry are optical fibres, optical fibre bundles, and optical fibre cables, which are used in a wide range of applications. These products are often consumed by industries such as 851711 Telephone sets, 851721 Facsimile machines, 851750 Other apparatus for the transmission or reception of voice, images or other data, and 854420 Optical fibre cables, among others, as they form the backbone of modern telecommunications and data transmission networks.
