The price of FTTH drop cable is affected by multiple factors. First, the quality and cost of raw materials are the basis for determining the price of optical cables, including the loss performance of optical fibers and the strength of aramid fibers. Secondly, the advanced level of production technology and process as well as the level of production efficiency will also affect the manufacturing cost and price of optical cables. In addition, factors such as the intensity of market competition, brand effect, market demand scale, and policies and standards also have an important impact on the price of drop fibre cable.
The main component of optical fiber is silicon dioxide (SiO₂), and the high-purity quartz glass required to manufacture high-quality optical fiber is expensive. In addition, outer sheath materials, reinforcements (such as steel wire or aramid fiber), etc. also have an important impact on the overall cost. Fluctuations in raw material prices in the market will directly affect the production cost of fiber-to-the-home cable.
Different production processes will affect the quality and cost of fiber drop cable. For example, the use of advanced fiber drawing technology can improve the transmission performance and durability of optical fibers, but the corresponding equipment investment and maintenance costs will also increase. In addition, the level of automation and production efficiency also determine the cost of unit products.
FTTH cables are usually equipped with various types of connectors, such as SC, LC or MPO, to adapt to different installation environments and equipment interfaces. High-end connectors are often more expensive due to their lower insertion loss and higher reliability, which pushes up the overall cost.
Cables designed for different scenarios, such as wall-mounted or pole-mounted installation, require additional mechanical protection and environmental adaptability, which may increase the complexity and cost. At the same time, designs that are easy to install and maintain on site will also increase additional costs, but can reduce long-term operating costs.
Mass production can significantly reduce the cost per unit product, while small batches or customized orders are more expensive due to the lack of economies of scale. Customer requirements for specific specifications, lengths or performance parameters may require specialized production processes, which in turn affect the FTTH cable price.
Changes in global market demand, competitive situations among suppliers, and technological innovations will affect the price of drop fiber optic cable. When supply exceeds demand, prices may fall; otherwise, they may rise. At the same time, technological progress has reduced production costs and may also lead to a decline in market prices.
The FTTH cable price per meter is determined by a variety of complex factors, from raw materials and production processes to market demand and technological innovation, and price fluctuations may occur at every stage. Understanding these factors can help network operators and consumers make more informed choices, balance cost and performance, and ensure efficient and reliable fiber network deployment.
