FAQ
Q: Can OPGW cable replace traditional ground wires?
A: Yes. OPGW combines grounding and optical communication functions, allowing it to replace conventional overhead ground wires while adding fiber transmission capability.
Q: What is the minimum order quantity for customized OPGW cable?
A: Customized logo, packaging, and graphic requirements generally start from 1,000 meters. Standard production quantities can be negotiated.
Q: What is the lead time for bulk OPGW cable orders?
A: Typical production time is 6 days for 1–5,000 meters, 10 days for 5,001–20,000 meters, and around 30 days for larger orders, depending on specifications and production schedule.
Q: How should OPGW 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 rather than upright to avoid cable deformation.
Q: Can you provide OPGW cable samples before bulk orders?
A: Yes. Samples can be provided for specification verification, optical testing, and customer approval before mass production.
Q: What payment terms are accepted 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 can be discussed based on order conditions.
Q: What shipping methods are available for OPGW cable?
A: Samples are usually shipped by DHL, FedEx, UPS, or TNT door-to-door service. Bulk orders can be shipped by air freight or sea freight through customer-designated or negotiated forwarders.
Q: What export documents can be provided?
A: Standard export documents include commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, quality inspection report, and shipping documents. Additional documents can be prepared according to destination requirements.
