MOQ and Rationale

The MOQ is one kilometer. This reflects line setup such as wire/die adjustments that consume start-up material and scrap.

We review your put-ups and staging to choose reel sizes that cut waste and handling. Batch releases can balance inventory holding with frequent, smaller deliveries to job sites.

Installation Scenarios & Readiness

Site conditions determine whether a self-supporting aerial, duct pull, or direct-buried run is the right choice for a project.

Deployment Considerations

For aerial runs, Shanghai Weiye OFC Equipment advises self-supporting designs with correct strength members to control sag and tension for long-term stability.

Duct installations perform best with low-friction sheaths and crush-resistant constructs so pulling does not damage fibers. PE jackets are common for underground and buried paths where moisture resistance matters.

Direct-buried designs require proper depth control per local codes and moisture-resistant jackets to protect the fiber core long-term.

Indoor Riser/Plenum & ONT

Indoor riser and plenum routes favor LSZH jackets to meet flame and smoke rules. Flat drop profiles strip cleanly and present controlled stubs for quick ONT termination.

We advise on steel vs FRP (dielectric) strength members based on bonding requirements, lightning exposure, and hardware compatibility. Standardized line prep shortens install time and reduces scrap.
