OPGW cable is a high-performance cable widely used in power, communications and other industries. The price of OPGW cables from different manufacturers may vary greatly. Why? From the perspective of Hunan GL Technology Co., Ltd., the main factors that make up the price of OPGW cables are as follows.
The quality of the optical fiber material is directly related to the transmission performance of the cable, and the price of high-quality optical fiber material is relatively high. In addition, the technical difficulty of producing optical fiber materials is relatively high, and the production cost is relatively high. Therefore, the cost of optical fiber materials accounts for a large proportion of the price of OPGW cables.
The metal material of the cable is mainly composed of steel wire and aluminum alloy, and the quality and cost of the materials used by different manufacturers are also different. The thickness and quality of the material directly affect the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of the cable. Therefore, the cost of metal materials is also an important factor affecting the price of OPGW cables.
The production of OPGW cables involves multiple production processes, including the production of optical fiber materials, the processing of metal materials, the manufacture of optical cables, and quality inspection. The production lines, equipment, and processes of different manufacturers will affect the production costs, thus affecting the price of optical cables.
The OPGW optical cable market is highly competitive, and various manufacturers are competing for market share. Price is an important means of attracting customers, so price advantage has also become an important factor in market competition. However, price is not the only means of competition, and the performance, quality, and after-sales service of optical cables are equally important.
