What is fiber optic cable
Optical fibre cable (optical fibre cable) is a communication cable consisting of two or more glass or plastic optical fiber cores located in a protective coating and covered by a plastic PVC outer sleeve. The signal transmission along the internal optical fiber generally uses infrared rays. In January 2013, Cuba carried out communications reforms, opening fiber optic cables and increasing foreign channels to attract attention.
China started the research of optical fiber and cable in the mid-1970s, and started almost at the same time as foreign countries, and developed the first quartz optical fiber in early 1977. Driven by China's large-scale communications construction demand, China's optical fiber and cable industry has developed rapidly, and a complete industrial chain has been formed from optical fiber preforms to optical cable products. The production and technical strength of China's optical fiber and cable enterprises have also grown rapidly, and their product development capabilities and technological innovation capabilities have further improved. China has become the world's second largest fiber optic cable country, reaching the world's advanced level in all aspects.
From January to November 2007, China’s optical fiber and cable manufacturing industry achieved a total industrial output value of 29,771,661 thousand yuan, an increase of 33.22% over the same period of the previous year; cumulative product sales revenue was 28,422,739 thousand yuan, an increase of 38.13% over the same period of the previous year; The total profit realized was RMB 1,785,178 thousand, an increase of 63.34% over the same period of the previous year.
With the in-depth development of the China Village Communication Project, the irreversible trend of optical fiber optic cable retreat (optical cable replacing copper cable), and the World Expo and other factors that will stimulate the information economy, China's optical fiber and cable industry will maintain a steady growth. What is more noteworthy is that the large-scale construction of 3G and the gradual start of FTTH will become the long-term driving factors for the development of China's optical fiber and cable industry, and will surely promote China's optical fiber and cable industry into a new round of growth cycle.
