Overseas Orders with “Half-Month Delivery” – Can Your Optical Cable Production Line Keep Up?
A recent report by CCTV Finance showed that overseas orders for optical cable companies are growing steadily, with delivery deadlines generally requiring “no more than half a month.” Orders from multiple countries have already been booked through 2027. From January to May 2026, China’s optical cable exports grew by double digits year‑on‑year. Annual investment in newly built computing centers overseas is estimated to reach trillions of yuan.
Orders are coming in, but delivery lead times have been squeezed to the limit. For optical cable manufacturers, this means a race against time to ramp up production capacity. The question is – can your stranding and sheathing lines keep up?
