Cable Manufacturing Processes Are Changing: No-Binder Yarn, Integrated Machines, and In-Line Inspection – Can Your Equipment Keep Up?

Over the past decade, the production process for loose-tube cables has remained relatively fixed – coloring, secondary coating, stranding, binder yarn application, sheathing – step by step. But in the last couple of years, cable manufacturers have started asking themselves: can we skip some of these intermediate steps? Can we make lines run faster, take up less floor space, and produce less scrap?

So, new processes are emerging – no-binder-yarn cables, combined stranding-and-sheathing integrated machines, UV-LED curing. New processes mean that cable equipment manufacturers must evolve too.

The Explosive Demand for Fiber Optic Cable Equipment: How AI Data Centers Are Reshaping the Selection Logic for Stranding and Sheathing Equipment

发表评论 / Company Progress / 作者： HongKai

In 2026, the global fiber optic cable industry is undergoing a profound transformation driven by AI. AI computing power demand is fundamentally rewriting the market landscape for optical cables. A single hyperscale AI data center requires several times more optical fiber than a traditional data center. In 2025, global data center fiber optic cable demand surged 75.9% year‑on‑year, reaching 69.6 million fiber‑km; in 2026, this figure is projected to reach 91.6 million fiber‑km. CRU forecasts that over the next five years, the compound annual growth rate for AI‑ and data‑center‑related cable demand will reach 32.6%.

Cable prices have soared in tandem – G.652.D bare fiber prices have risen to RMB 83.4 per fiber‑km, an increase of over 400% year‑on‑year. The popular G.657.A2 specialty fiber has skyrocketed from RMB 32 per fiber‑km in 2025 to RMB 240 per fiber‑km – a staggering 650% increase. General Administration of Customs data shows that in March 2026, China’s fiber optic cable exports reached USD 245 million, up 263.84% year‑on‑year. Many leading manufacturers have orders booked through 2027 and 2028.

The demand structure has changed, the products have changed, and the logic behind selecting optical cable manufacturing equipment must change with them. This article starts with the new requirements AI data centers place on cable products and breaks down the new selection logic for stranding and sheathing equipment.

Behind the Surge in Fiber Optic Equipment Orders in 2026: A Manufacturer’s Real Perspective

发表评论 / Company Progress / 作者： HongKai

If you had asked me in 2025 whether fiber optic cable equipment was selling well, I might have sighed.

But now it’s 2026, and the situation has completely changed.

Since the beginning of the year, orders have been pouring in like a floodgate opened. G.652.D bare fiber has soared from less than RMB 20 per fiber‑km in early 2025 to RMB 83.4. G.657.A2 specialty fiber is even more dramatic – up from RMB 32 per fiber‑km to RMB 240, a 650% increase. With fiber prices this high, cable manufacturers are racing to expand capacity.

Customs data tells the story even more clearly – in March 2026, fiber optic cable exports reached USD 245 million, up 263.84% year‑on‑year. Many manufacturers already have orders booked through 2028. Overseas customers aren’t haggling over prices anymore – they’re asking, “Can you deliver faster?”

CRU forecasts a compound annual growth rate of about 6.6% for global fiber optic cable demand over the next five years, but the growth rate for AI‑ and data‑center‑related cable demand is as high as 32.6%. Cable demand is shifting from FTTH (Fiber‑to‑the‑Home) to FTTG (Fiber‑to‑the‑GPU). In plain terms, cables used to be for home broadband; now they’re for GPUs in data centers. And that changes everything about what cables need to be.
