FAQ
Q: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for customized OPGW cable?
A: MOQ depends on customization requirements. Customized logo, packaging, and graphics are commonly available from around 1000 meters.
Q: What is the lead time for OPGW cable orders?
A: Typical production time is about 6 days for 1–5000 meters, 10 days for 5001–20000 meters, and around 30 days for larger orders, depending on specifications.
Q: Can you provide OPGW cable samples before bulk orders?
A: Yes. Samples can be provided for technical evaluation, fiber testing, and installation verification before mass production.
Q: How should OPGW cable drums be stored before installation?
A: Store cable drums indoors in a dry area away from moisture, dust, and UV exposure. Keep drums horizontal and avoid placing them upright on their ends.
Q: What payment terms are available for export orders?
A: Common payment methods include T/T (30% advance payment and 70% before shipment), L/C, PayPal, Western Union, and D/P depending on order conditions.
Q: What shipping methods are available for OPGW cable?
