Professional Custom Fiber Optic Cable Manufacturer And Supplier Since 2014.
Ecuador’s rugged Andean terrain and humid coastal zones pose significant hurdles for FTTH deployment. Traditional drop cables struggled with:
Bending stress in dense urban installations (e.g., Quito’s historic districts).
Corrosion risks from coastal salinity in cities like Guayaquil.
Space constraints in existing duct infrastructure.
A major Ecuadorian telecom operator needed a solution to accelerate deployments while minimizing installation failures and maintenance.
Weunion supplied its bend-insensitive G.657A2 fiber Indoor FTTH Drop Cables, featuring:
Compact, metal-free design (2.0×3.0 mm cross-section, 6.9 kg/km weight) for easy routing through crowded conduits.
LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket meeting flame-retardant and environmental standards—critical for residential safety regulations.
Two parallel FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic) strength members providing crush resistance up to 1,000 N/100mm without metallic corrosion risks.
7.5 mm dynamic bending radius (G.657A2 fiber), enabling tight turns in wall drops and terminal boxes.
Over 120 km of Weunion’s drop cables were deployed across 15,000 homes in Quito and Manta. Key outcomes:
Installation efficiency: 30% faster splicing due to grooved design and easy stripping.
Durability: Zero corrosion-related failures in coastal areas after 18 months, contrasting with previous cables.
Customer satisfaction: 40% reduction in service interruptions attributed to the cable’s crush/tensile resistance (80N short-term tensile strength).
Temperature resilience (-20°C to +70°C) handled altitude-driven temperature swings in the Andes.
Aerial self-support capability (via optional figure-8 design) addressed aerial deployment needs in suburban areas.
EMI immunity (metal-free construction) prevented interference near power lines.
"Weunion’s cables simplified our FTTH rollout in complex environments. The bending performance and uniform diameter reduced training time for our technicians."
