Fabricant de cordons à fibre optique

What We Build: Specs, MOQ and Lead Time by Family

Three numbers decide most purchase orders: what you can order, how many, and how fast it lands. The table lists every patch cord family this fiber patch cord manufacturer assembles in its own workshop. Lead time counts from deposit and includes 100% testing and packing.

Cord family	Build	Length	MOQ	Lead time
Simplex / duplex single-mode (LC, SC, FC, ST)	G.652D / G.657A1, UPC or APC, 0.9-3.0 mm, PVC or LSZH	0.3-30 m	100 pcs	3-6 days
Multimode duplex (OM1-OM5)	50/125 and 62.5/125, aqua / lime / orange jackets	0.3-30 m	100 pcs	3-6 days
Pigtails 0.9 mm	SC, LC, FC, ST - UPC or APC, single-mode	0.5-2 m	200 pcs	3-5 days
MPO / MTP trunk cable	8-72 fibers, OS2 / OM3 / OM4, polarity A, B or C, male / female	0.5-30 m	20 pcs	6-10 days
MPO-LC / MPO-SC fanout harness	Cassette-ready 0.9 mm legs, 8-24 fibers	0.35-5 m	20 pcs	6-10 days
Armored patch cords	Spiral steel armor, LSZH jacket, LC-LC and mixed types	0.5-10 m	100 pcs	4-7 days
FTTH jumpers	1.6-2.0 mm drop-style, SC/APC and mixed heads	1-5 m	200 pcs	4-6 days
Outdoor duplex branch cable	MDPE jacket, pre-made long runs to 100 m	10-100 m	100 pcs	5-8 days

MOQ and lead-time figures are standard production windows; peak season around Chinese New Year can add 5-7 days. Fixed delivery dates are confirmed in writing on the proforma invoice.

What buyers order most from this shelf

• LC-LC duplex single-mode, 3 m: the data center staple - yellow jacket, UPC or APC, stocked for same-week dispatch.
• MPO-12 OM4 trunks, polarity B: 40/100G backbone builds, aqua jacket, male or female to match the cassettes.
• SC/APC pigtails, 1 m: FTTH closures and boxes - the workhorse of last-mile rollouts.
• Armored LC-LC cords: factory floors and ceiling routes where standard jackets get cut.
• MPO to LC fanouts: break 40G ports into 10G service ports without a new panel.

These five SKUs cover most purchase orders we ship. Your mix may differ - the full shelf sits in the product grid above, and everything on it builds to your length and label.

Cords can arrive pre-loaded into termination boxes, cassettes or ODF panels - factory-loaded panels cut on-site assembly to plug and label. For the raw cable behind every cord, see our fiber optic cable range, all drawn from the same plant.

UPC or APC? Pick the Polish by the Link, Not by Habit

The polish decides the return loss, and the return loss decides whether a link runs clean. Here is how this fiber patch cord manufacturer guides the choice:

	UPC	APC
Polish angle	Near 0 degrees	8 degrees
Connector color	Blue	Green
Return loss (single-mode)	≥50 dB	≥60 dB
Best for	LAN, data center port counts, general patching	FTTH/RF-over-glass, DWDM, long-haul and high-gain links
Rule	Never mate UPC into APC - the angle mismatch damages both ferrules and spikes the loss

FTTH builds in Asia and the Middle East run SC/APC at the ONT almost everywhere; data centers stay UPC on OM4 and OS2 patching. When one site mixes both, we color-split the labels so installers never grab the wrong bag. Tell us the equipment side - we flag conflicts before you order.

MPO Polarity A, B and C: Getting It Right the First Time

MPO links fail on polarity more than on loss. The fibers inside a 12-fiber trunk must line up transmit-to-receive at both ends, and three standards describe how:

• Method A: straight-through - key-up to key-down; the flip happens in the cassette. Simplest for mixed vendor sites.
• Method B: reversed at one end - key-up to key-up; the trunk itself flips the array. Common in pure data center deployments.
• Method C: pair-wise flip inside the trunk - used in some legacy designs.

Send us the cassette model and the port plan - a photo of the panel is enough. We build and label the trunks to your method, male or female pins, and state the polarity on every label. MPO assembly runs in a separate cell with its own interference and geometry checks, so a 72-fiber trunk carries the same paperwork as a simplex cord.

Uniboot and High-Density Options for Packed Racks

When a 1U panel holds 48 ports, cable bulk becomes the enemy. Our high-density options cut the clutter:

• Uniboot LC: the two legs share one round cable and split at the last 30 cm; a push-pull tab lets techs unplug in zero clearance. Available in 2.0 mm and 3.0 mm.
• Reduced-diameter 1.6 mm jackets: half the bend volume of 3.0 mm cable in the same tray.
• Length-matched rack sets: cords cut to your rack elevation plan, bagged per position number - installers hang cables instead of coiling them.
• Color routing: boot colors assigned by function (OS2 blue, OM4 aqua, storage violet) so a mis-patch is visible from two meters away.

These options are OEM territory: send the rack elevation, and this fiber patch cord manufacturer returns a length schedule with the quoted set.

Quality You Can Read From the Data Sheet

A patch cord is a test result, not a product photo. These are the numbers we build and test to, batch after batch:

• Insertion loss: ≤0.3 dB typical, ≤0.5 dB maximum per connector pair, measured at 1310/1550 nm single-mode and 850/1300 nm multimode.
• Return loss: ≥50 dB single-mode UPC, ≥60 dB APC, ≥20 dB multimode.
• Durability: ≤0.2 dB change after 500 mating cycles (design test), zirconia ceramic ferrules on every connector we assemble.
• End face: inspected to IEC 61300-3-35 scope classes before assembly; dusty ferrules never reach the bench.
• Testing: 100% of cords - not samples - pass IL and RL on calibrated benches, and the reading prints on the label.

Failure rates on standard cords run well under 0.1% in our shipment records (draft figure - confirm with sales). When a cord is good, the label proves it; when a claim happens, the same label settles it.

Pigtail or Patch Cord? Match the Product to the Joint

Both start as the same fiber - the difference is one connector versus two, and it changes how your crew works:

	Pigtail (one connector)	Patch cord (two connectors)
Where it goes	Spliced onto cable ends, inside closures, boxes and ODFs	Plugged between panels, ONTs and equipment ports
Cable style	0.9 mm buffered fiber	1.6-3.0 mm jacketed zip or simplex
Field skill needed	Fusion splicer and a trained jointer	None - plug and label
Best economics	High-count terminations (48+ ports per frame)	Moves, adds and changes; equipment patching

Most networks use both: pigtails at the frame, patch cords between frames. Ordering both from one fiber patch cord manufacturer keeps the connector geometry consistent, so a pigtail spliced today mates with a cord bought next year at the same loss.

How to Read Our Test Labels and Batch Files

The label is the warranty. Every cord from this fiber patch cord manufacturer carries a label with the connector types, fiber grade, length, and the measured IL and RL values from its own bench pass. Batch files follow the same fields so your QA team can sort and audit:

• Per-cord label: SKU code, connector pair, fiber, length, IL and RL readings, batch number.
• Batch file: a spreadsheet (CSV or Excel) with one row per cord - your asset system can import it directly.
• Custom formats: we export to your template, including barcode and QR label layouts, above 1,000 pieces at no cost.
• Retained samples: every batch keeps control samples for the warranty period, so any later claim is re-tested against the same lot.

Procurement teams tell us the test file shortens acceptance meetings to minutes: the installer plugs in, the meter matches the label, the batch signs off.

Connector and Naming Decoder for Buyers

Procurement teams read datasheets faster with this decoder - it covers every code on our quotation sheets:

Code	Meaning	Where you see it
LC	Small form factor latch connector, 1.25 mm ferrule	Data centers, SFP ports
SC	Push-pull square connector, 2.5 mm ferrule	FTTH ONTs, media converters
FC	Screw-on metal connector	Test gear, older telecom racks
ST	Bayonet metal connector	Legacy campus backbones
MU / E2000	Compact and shielded-ferrule types	Dense panels, European telecom
MPO / MTP	Multi-fiber push-pull, 8-72 fibers	40/100G links, MDC cassettes
UPC / APC	Ultra / angled physical contact polish - blue / green	Jacket and connector colors
OS2 / OM1-OM5	Single-mode and multimode fiber grades	Jacket colors: yellow, aqua, lime, orange
Simplex / duplex / uniboot	Single strand, zip-cord pair, round leg with pull-tab	High-density rack builds

Send a drawing with any code you do not see here - our workshop builds hybrid and special heads, such as transceiver-side conversions and mode-conditioning cords, on request.

OEM, ODM and Private-Label Capability

As an OEM fiber patch cord manufacturer we build to your drawing, your colors and your label. Three service levels cover most buyers:

• OEM: your logo on labels, bags and cartons; boot and jacket colors mixed per line item; free label printing above 500 pieces.
• ODM: custom assemblies - uniboot, length-specified rack sets, hybrid heads, mode-conditioning cords - engineered and sample-tested before volume.
• OBM / JDM: exclusive part numbers and stocking programs for distributors, with signed NDAs and locked pricing per season.

OEM projects we shipped (draft references - replace with your approved cases)

• European colocation data center, 2024: 12,000 MPO-12 OM4 trunk and fanout cords, polarity B, aqua jackets, shipped in 4 phases against a rack-installation schedule.
• US FTTH installer, 2023: 30,000 SC/APC pigtails with private labels and per-bag barcodes, delivered in 6 weekly call-offs.
• India campus network, 2025: 8,600 LC-LC duplex OM3 cords plus 1,200 armored LC-LC cords for a factory-floor retrofit with metal-dust exposure.

Patching into splitters or WDM points? Buyers commonly pair cords with our PLC splitters, adapters and fast connectors in the same container, so one purchase order covers the whole rack.

Wholesale and Distributor Program

Distributors live on stock turn and clean paperwork. The wholesale program at this fiber patch cord manufacturer runs on five rules:

• Mixed-SKU containers: cords, pigtails, MPO trunks and adapters share one container with tiered pricing at 5,000, 20,000 and 50,000 pieces per cycle.
• Call-off stocking: frame agreements reserve production slots; you draw stock monthly without re-quoting.
• Price protection: quoted project prices hold for 30 days.
• Direct-ship option: we ship sealed sub-cartons straight to your project sites under your labels.
• Marketing kit: factory photos, certificates and test-report templates for your own tender files.

New distributors start with a trial mixed order and scale to frame terms once the return rate proves itself - most stay on call-off terms within two cycles.

Warranty, After-Sales and How Claims Settle

After-sales is where trading companies go quiet and factories stay answerable. Our policy runs on three commitments:

• Warranty window: standard cords carry a replacement warranty against factory faults (term confirmed on the proforma - typically 12-24 months).
• Data-first claims: a claim needs the batch label and your field reading; our bench re-tests the same batch from retained samples and answers with numbers.
• Fast replacement: confirmed faults ride the next production run free - most replacements ship within 10 days of the agreed claim.

Retained samples from every batch stay on the shelf for the warranty period, so a dispute never turns into opinion versus opinion. It is one reason repeat buyers treat this fiber patch cord manufacturer as a long-term extension of their own warehouse.

Certifications and Test Compliance

Every cord inherits the factory's quality system. The plant runs under ISO 9001:2015, our CE paperwork covers the connector families sold into the EU, and our R&D director holds the utility patent on a fiber optic quick connector. The documents are public on the certificate page.

Certificate	Relevance to your cords
ISO 9001:2015	Quality management for assembly, test and shipment of optical products
OHSAS 18001:2007	Occupational health and safety management
CE reports	Connector families shipped into the EU
Utility model patent	Fiber optic quick connector, inventor Zhou Liubo - the same bench team assembles your cords

Compliance references: connector optical performance measured per IEC 61300 test sequences, end-face cleanliness to IEC 61300-3-35, and RoHS-compliant jacket materials on request. Certificate copies ride with every quotation.

Factory Strength: The Workshop Behind the Label

Cords are only as good as the bench that tested them. Our assembly workshop sits inside the same Yiwu compound where we extrude cable - 25 years of fiber work under founder LING LI, started December 2000:

• Assembly lines: dedicated epoxy-polish and quick-termination lines for simplex, duplex and 0.9 mm pigtail work; separate MPO/MTP cell with its own polarity and interference checks.
• Test benches: calibrated IL/RL testers run every cord; 3D interferometer sampling guards ferrule geometry (draft detail - confirm current instrument list with sales).
• Quality team: Grace Xu, Quality Director, owns the release step - no batch ships without her sign-off on the test sheet.
• R&D: Zhou Liubo, Director of R&D and patent holder, designs the special heads and uniboot conversions.
• Export desk: Peter Lin, Head of Export Sales, one named contact per buyer from RFQ to B/L. Video walk-throughs of the workshop run on request - see the factory gallery.

Because assembly, cable extrusion and packing share one compound, a mixed order of cords plus bulk cable leaves on one truck to Ningbo or Shanghai port.

Why Buyers Pick HENGXANG Over Other Suppliers

Compare suppliers on the points that decide project outcomes, not brochure adjectives:

Factor	HENGXANG	Typical trading company
Testing	100% IL/RL, reading on each label	Batch sampling, no per-cord data
MOQ	20-200 pcs by family; trial lots welcome	1,000 pcs minimums per type
Connector range	LC, SC, FC, ST, MU, E2000, MPO/MTP in one order	2-3 common types only
Quote speed	Within 24 hours on business days	Days, forwarded to a third factory
Mixed orders	Cords + cable + splitters + ODFs, one container	Single category
Traceability	Batch label + per-cord test reading + fiber lot	Box label only
Factory access	Live video audits and third-party inspection welcome	Rarely allowed

And one habit that wins tenders: we quote what your rack actually needs. If a duplex cord should be uniboot for a packed patch panel, the quote says so before you order the wrong build.

How We Work With You: From BOM to Delivered Cartons

Six steps, all in writing, one contact:

• Step 1 - RFQ: send the BOM - connector types, fiber grade, lengths, quantities. WhatsApp +86 134 3434 9304 or the contact form.
• Step 2 - Quote: unit prices by SKU, MOQ, lead time and packing plan within 24 hours on business days.
• Step 3 - Samples: sample cords ship in 3-5 days for your lab bench or site trial.
• Step 4 - Assembly: after deposit, production photos at polish, assembly and test stages.
• Step 5 - Inspection: 100% IL/RL bench plus your third-party inspector if required.
• Step 6 - Shipment: EXW, FOB Ningbo/Shanghai or CIF; documents within 3 working days of vessel departure.

Between orders, the same desk answers technical questions - and our FAQ page covers the common ones in plain language.

Worked Example: A 2,000-Piece Mixed Order, Start to Seal

Numbers beat adjectives. Here is a typical mixed project (illustrative figures - your quote states yours): 1,200 LC-LC duplex single-mode cords at 3 m, 500 SC/APC pigtails, and 300 MPO-12 OM4 trunks at 5 m for one data hall:

Step	Detail
Day 0	BOM received by WhatsApp; quote issued next morning with tier pricing
Day 1-2	Samples pulled from stock and airfreighted for approval
Day 3-8	Assembly: pigtails first, then cords, then MPO trunks; labels printed to the buyer's asset code format
Day 8-9	100% IL/RL on all 2,000 pieces; test file exported to the buyer's format
Day 10	Carton pack: 40 cartons, desiccant, barcode labels; 14 cbm total - fits half a 20 ft container
Day 11	Trucked to Ningbo, FOB; B/L and test file issued 2 days after sailing

Eleven days from BOM to sealed cartons - that is the pace of a factory that assembles, tests and packs under one roof, and the reason buyers treat this fiber patch cord manufacturer as a stockroom extension rather than a vendor.

Build the Whole Link, Not Just the Cords

Cords land the signal, and the rest of the passive chain comes from the same plant: bulk cable for the routes, connector components for field assembly, adapters and termination boxes for the panels, splitters for the split points, and ODFs for the central office. New to ODF planning? Our ODF planning guide maps port counts to rack layouts in plain language. One supplier, one freight plan, one warranty conversation.
