01 Selected production line

Simplex / Duplex Patch Cord Cable Production Line

What does this production route produce? Two linked production lines form the reference cable body for simplex or duplex patch cords. HK-30 turns bare optical fiber into the tight-buffered element. HK-50 feeds one or two tight-buffered elements with aramid yarn, extrudes the project-specified outer jacket, then cools, measures and takes up the finished cable body. Connector termination, end-face polishing and optical testing are separate downstream processes. Final construction follows the approved cable drawing.

02 Patch Cord Cable anatomy

Trace the three-part Patch Cord cable body from tight buffer to outer jacket.

Open the exploded view, select one of the three cable-body parts, and see whether HK-30 or HK-50 forms or integrates it into the finished cable body. Bare optical fiber enters HK-30 directly without coloring.

01HK-30 · Tight-buffer extrusionPay off the uncolored bare optical fiber, apply the tight buffer, cool, measure and take up the buffered element.

02HK-50 · Aramid serving + jacketFeed one or two buffered elements, apply aramid yarn, extrude the outer jacket and take up the cable body.

ⓘ Reference boundary: this illustration identifies only the three cable-body parts: tight buffer, aramid yarn and outer jacket. Uncolored bare optical fiber feeds HK-30 directly; no fiber-coloring stage is part of this route. A duplex construction repeats the same three-part stack for each leg. Confirm materials, dimensions and connector requirements against the approved drawing.

07 Route FAQ

Clarify the Patch Cord cable-body route before requesting a proposal.

These answers connect the simplex or duplex cable-body construction to the HK-30 and HK-50 reference stages and the inputs needed for engineering review.

What stages are included in the Patch Cord cable-body reference route?

The reference route has two stages. HK-30 forms the qualified tight-buffered element from approved uncolored bare optical fiber. HK-50 receives one or two buffered elements, applies the specified aramid-yarn package, extrudes the outer jacket, then cools, measures, hauls off and takes up the finished cable body. The final configuration follows the approved drawing and written project inputs.

Does this route require a fiber-coloring stage?

No. The current reference route feeds uncolored bare optical fiber directly into HK-30, so a separate coloring stage is not included. The buyer still needs to confirm the optical-fiber specification, input reel condition and handling requirements.

How does the route differ for simplex and duplex cable bodies?

A simplex cable body uses one qualified tight-buffered element, while a duplex construction uses two elements or repeated legs. The exact profile, element spacing, aramid distribution, finished dimensions and reel format must be defined by the approved simplex or duplex cable-body drawing.

What does HK-30 control during tight-buffer production?

HK-30 manages bare-fiber pay-off, preheating, tight-buffer extrusion, cooling, dimensional monitoring, haul-off and take-up. The fiber input, buffer compound, target buffer diameter, tooling, tension range and reel package remain project-specific.

What does HK-50 add to the tight-buffered element?

HK-50 guides one or two qualified buffered elements, serves the approved aramid-yarn package and extrudes the project-specified outer jacket. It also covers cooling, dimensional monitoring, marking, traction, accumulation and finished cable-body take-up. Yarn type, package, count, tension, jacket material, color, tooling and finished dimensions require confirmation.

Are connector termination, end-face polishing and optical testing included?

Not by default. The HK-30 to HK-50 route produces the Patch Cord cable body. Connector termination, end-face polishing and optical testing are separate downstream processes unless they are reviewed and quoted as a separate part of the project scope.

Do the reference images and videos confirm speed, capacity or line arrangement?

No. They illustrate the process stages and reference equipment only. They do not confirm machine quantities, factory layout, speed, capacity, performance, certification, supplied scope or acceptance criteria for a specific project. Those values must be defined in the written technical and commercial agreement.

What information should the buyer provide for engineering review?

Please provide the approved simplex or duplex cable-body drawing; optical-fiber and reel data; element count; target buffer and finished dimensions; tight-buffer, aramid and jacket specifications; color and marking; source and delivery reels; product mix and target output; factory utilities and layout; existing equipment interfaces; inspection and acceptance requirements; and the project schedule. Unknown items can remain identified for joint engineering review.

Final cable construction, equipment, performance, acceptance criteria and supply scope are defined in the signed technical and commercial agreement.
