FAQ
Q: What is the structure of Outdoor Ribbon Armored Optical Fiber Cable?
A: It uses ribbon fiber units inside a protective cable structure with metallic armor, strength members, water-blocking components, and an outdoor PE jacket for mechanical and environmental protection.
Q: How should optical cable drums be stored before installation?
A: Cable drums should be stored indoors, protected from moisture, dust, and UV exposure. Drums should be placed horizontally and not upright on their ends.
Q: Can you provide cable samples before bulk orders?
A: Yes. Samples can be provided for technical evaluation and compatibility testing before mass production.
Q: What is the MOQ for customized orders?
A: For OEM customization such as logo, packaging, or graphic printing, the typical MOQ starts from 1,000 meters. Specific requirements can be negotiated.
Q: What is the typical lead time for bulk orders?
A: Standard orders usually require around 5–30 days, depending on order quantity, customization requirements, and production schedule.
Q: What payment terms do you accept?
A: Common payment methods include T/T (30% deposit and 70% before shipment). L/C, PayPal, Western Union, and D/P terms can be discussed according to order conditions.
Q: What export documents can you provide?
A: We can provide standard export documents including commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, and shipping documents. Additional documents can be arranged according to destination requirements.
Q: Do you support third-party inspection before shipment?
A: Yes. Third-party inspection by approved inspection companies can be arranged before shipment according to customer requirements.
