You do not need to know every machine name. Start with the finished cable or installation environment. If you already know the upstream stage you need, use the supporting-process filter, then review the typical route.
FTTH Drop Cable

See how optical fiber becomes the cable you plan to produce.
Start with the finished-cable family. These simplified routes show the main transformation stages before we confirm the detailed cable design and equipment scope.
Indoor and FTTH drop-cable route
Four main stages connect the optical fiber to a preliminary FTTH cable structure.
-
Starting element 01Optical fiber
The production route begins with the required optical fiber.
-
Structure support 02Strength member
Strength elements are fed according to the confirmed drop-cable design.
-
Jacket formation 03Sheathing
The required jacket profile is formed around the fiber and strength elements.
-
Preliminary output 04FTTH drop cable
The finished structure is checked before the required take-up or packing route.
Preliminary route: Optical fiber → strength member → sheathing → FTTH drop cable.
Outdoor loose-tube cable route
Five main stages connect the optical fiber to a preliminary outdoor cable structure.
-
Starting element 01Optical fiber
The outdoor route begins with the required optical fiber.
-
Fiber protection 02Loose tube
Fibers are organized into the required protective loose-tube structure.
-
Core formation 03SZ stranding / core formation
Loose tubes and the central member are formed into the required cable core.
-
Outer protection 04Sheathing
The outer sheath is applied around the confirmed cable-core structure.
-
Preliminary output 05Outdoor cable
The finished cable construction remains subject to the confirmed design.
Preliminary route: Optical fiber → loose tube → SZ stranding / core formation → sheathing → outdoor cable.
The visible route is simple. The confirmed cable design decides the complete scope.
Use these four checks before treating the process overview as a final equipment list.
Fiber identification
Coloring or preparation may be added when the confirmed product requires it.
Reinforcement or armoring
Aramid, FRP, steel wire or tape is selected only when required by the cable design.
Different cables need different routes
Indoor, drop, loose-tube, aerial and armored constructions do not share one fixed process.
Confirm before configuration
Fiber count, structure, materials, target output and applicable standard guide the final scope.
Map the chosen process to the right production-line family.
The next section connects these stages to a practical line configuration.
Four production-line families cover the current cable catalog.
This is the bridge between a finished cable and a machine list. It shows which production modules usually form the line before model, speed, diameter and auxiliary systems are confirmed.
Indoor & Access Cable Lines
For FTTH, GJFJV, GJFV, tight-buffered, simplex and duplex products.
Central Loose-Tube Outdoor Lines
For GYXTW, GYXTPY and micro-cable structures used in duct or outdoor distribution.
Aerial & Utility Cable Lines
For ADSS, ASU and Figure-8 structures requiring self-support or messenger reinforcement.
Fiber & Component Preparation
Supporting routes for fiber respooling, strength-member preparation and line integration.
A “complete line” is not one fixed machine package. The final equipment list changes with cable structure, fiber count, materials, workshop conditions and the processes already available in your factory.
Find the right equipment for every stage.
Start with one machine or use the full route as a basis for a complete line. Every selection is subject to technical confirmation against your cable specification.
Fiber preparation
Fiber Coloring & Respooling Line
Prepares optical fiber with controlled tension, identification and reel format for downstream production.
- Core equipmentManufactured by HONGKAI where applicable
- Specialist equipmentSourced and identified transparently
- Interface integrationMatched into one connected route
- Supporting systemsControls, utilities and line accessories
Choose the scope that matches your project.
From a production module to a complete factory route, the project scope stays transparent.
Standalone Equipment
One machine or supporting system for a defined production stage.
- Technical matching
- Interface confirmation
- Installation guidance
Complete Production Line
A coordinated line based on the selected cable structure and target output.
- Process and line configuration
- Equipment and auxiliary systems
- Factory acceptance and support
Factory Project Route
A broader greenfield or expansion plan with one coordinated project team.
- Production route planning
- Workshop and utility coordination
- Installation and operator training

The machinery is only one part of the route. Move through the six steps to see what should be confirmed, what each stage produces and where responsibilities need to be defined.
Define the commercial starting point
Product & Market Starting Point
Clarify the intended cable families, target customers, applicable standards and initial capacity assumptions.
- Target market or application
- Likely cable families
- Initial capacity expectation
Know who owns each part before the project is supplied.
Final ownership is confirmed in the technical and commercial scope; these labels prevent hidden interfaces.

What this evidence means: these images show project activities and capability areas. They do not prove a specific customer's output, commercial result or supplied scope unless that information is separately verified and approved.
Choose the situation closest to the cable business you are planning.
Each card is a planning route, not a published customer case. Use it to create a clearer first enquiry when the exact cable model is still uncertain.

What should be confirmed before a line is proposed?
These answers explain the first technical conversation without treating an early planning route as a final equipment commitment.
Go to project enquiryYes. The preliminary route is based on the intended cable structure, material system, production capacity, workshop conditions and local requirements. The final configuration is confirmed only after technical review.
Start with the installation environment, target customer, fiber count range and the closest reference pattern above. Those inputs can narrow the cable family before machine models are discussed.
A cable drawing, standard or sample is ideal. If those are unavailable, share the application, expected fiber count, target capacity, jacket material, workshop space, voltage and current project stage.
Yes. The upstream and downstream interfaces, speed range, control method and available factory systems should first be confirmed so the standalone machine can connect to the existing route.
These services can be included in the confirmed project scope. The method, timing, customer-side preparation and responsibility boundary depend on the destination and selected equipment package.
No. They are buyer-orientation patterns that connect an application to likely cable families and confirmation questions. A published success case requires verified facts, approved images and customer permission.
Start from what you know. We can confirm the missing details next.
