The Future Development trend of 5G-driven Optical Fiber and Cable

The arrival of the 5G era has set off a wave of enthusiasm, which has led to another wave of development in optical communications. Along with the call of the national “speed-up and fee reduction”, major operators are also actively improving the coverage of 5G networks. China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom are expected to fully popularize 5G by 2020. The popularity of 5G has led to a significant increase in demand for optical cables, RF connectors and other products.

 "In-depth report of fiber optic cable industry: analysis of demand for fiber optic cable in 2019" pointed out that with the development of communication technology, optical communication has become the mainstream, and the trend of all-optical network of communication networks is clear. 5G not only brings demand, but also brings requirements. With the demand for large bandwidth, ultra-low loss, and large effective area, old, old, and insufficient core fibers will be replaced by new ones. Compared with the previous generation technology, 5G faces the three major business scenarios of large bandwidth, high reliability and low latency, which requires technical support of the entire industry chain.

 Just as Wei Leping believes that fiber will become the first beneficiary of the increase in the number of 5G base stations, 5G scale commercial will drive the demand of the fiber optic cable market. In the next five years, the demand for the global fiber optic cable market will gradually increase. In China, thanks to the continuous promotion of the “Broadband China” strategy and the arrival of the 5G era, China's fiber market is expected to maintain double-digit growth in the next few years, and the future market for fiber optic cables will be even broader!

The arrival of the 5G era will undoubtedly bring new space for the development of China's fiber optic cable industry. How to seize this rare market opportunity, continue to enhance the strength of the enterprise, and further rewrite the global fiber optic cable market, which is a major issue facing fiber optic cable companies and the entire industry.
