Optical Bare Fiber

Optical Bare Fiber & Drone Fiber Spool Supplier — G.652.D / G.657 / G.654.E, FPV Drone Reels

FIBCONET supplies bare optical fiber through deep inventory and authorized distribution partnerships with China’s four leading fiber makers — YOFC, ZTT, Hengtong and Fiberhome. Hengtong holds our largest stock position, and we also maintain cooperation with Far East and other tier-one suppliers.

G657A2

For spot orders we can release approximately 100,000 cores every two weeks. Annual contracts above one million cores are welcome and priced on brand-linked futures basis. Every roll ships with an OTDR test report and factory inspection video; our Ningbo warehouse accepts on-site inspection at any time.

Beyond standard telecom bare fiber, FIBCONET manufactures drone fiber optic spools — internal-winding, external-winding, Kevlar-reinforced and underwater versions — used by FPV and industrial drone builders worldwide for tethered communication payload lines.

We only discuss fiber communication material performance and export-compliant industrial / field communication applications.

What Is Bare Optical Fiber and How to Choose the Right Grade

Bare optical fiber is the raw waveguide — core + kuphimba + acrylate coating — before it becomes a finished optical cable. It ships on 50.4 km standard reels, ndi 40.8 km, 60.4 km ndi 100 km reel lengths available on request. If your process can accept non-standard reel lengths in the 20–40 km range, we can offer a more cost-efficient stock structure priced up to 20% lower.

G.652.D vs G.657 — When to Pick Which

G.652.D G.657.a1 / A2 G.657.B3
Min bend radius 30 mm A1 = 10 mm, A2 = 7.5 mm 5 mm
Bend-loss @ 1550 nm Standard Significantly reduced Ultra-low

Zabwino kwambiri za Msana wautali wautali, straight runs FTTH, dontho chingwe, drone reels, tight housings Extreme bending, invisible cable, high-density DCI

G.654.E — When Long-Haul and 400G+ Justify the Premium

G.654.E has a larger effective area than G.652.D, which lowers non-linear impairment on high-capacity coherent transmission links. It is the fiber of choice for terrestrial 400G / 800G backbone links and terrestrial extensions of submarine networks. Tensile strength is 60 N standard. Our current G.654.E output is around 100,000 km per month across authorized brands.

A note on our supply model. FIBCONET is an authorized distributor for the four leading Chinese fiber makers (YOFC, ZTT, Hengtong, Fiberhome), not a bare-fiber preform manufacturer. Our in-house manufacturing capability focuses on zingwe zowoneka bwino, Zithunzi za PLC, and drone fiber spools. This structure gives you branded fiber quality with the pricing leverage of consolidated purchasing.

Manufacturing and Supply Capability

kuwala CHIKWANGWANI

Four Brands, One Warehouse

Our Ningbo warehouse consolidates spot stock from YOFC, ZTT, Hengtong and Fiberhome, with Hengtong as the largest single position. This lets us quote spot on nearly any mainstream single-mode or multimode grade without waiting for factory production cycles.

Drone Spool Production

Drone spools are manufactured in-house on dedicated lines. Monthly capacity for the popular 20 km external-winding spool reaches pafupifupi 7,000 mayunitsi. Long-range internal-winding spools use a proprietary two-component adhesive system that cures immediately after fiber termination — eliminating the 24-hour rest period and the layer-adhesion issues common with ordinary adhesives.

Kuyesa ndi Kuwongolera

  • Per-reel OTDR report and attenuation test issued with every shipment
  • Factory inspection video available on request for buyers who cannot travel
  • On-site inspection welcome at our Ningbo warehouse at any time
  • Drone spools additionally undergo tensile-strength test, insertion-loss test, and appearance inspection (no scratches, dents or deformation permitted)

Kupaka, Logistics and DDP Service

Kwa muyezo 50.4 km reels we optimize palletized shipping for air freight:

  • 1 palika = 80 reels × 50.4 km ≈ 4,000 km of fiber
  • Pallet dimensions: 1.2 × 1.2 × 1.38 m
  • Malemeledwe onse: pafupifupi 400 kg
  • Volume: pafupifupi 1.85 CBM

Drone spools ship in individual protective boxes; carton counts vary by spool size and are confirmed at order stage.

FIBCONET has extensive experience with DDP terms to Europe (Poland, Bulgaria, Germany and other EU destinations). Our freight-forwarder rates are competitive; contact sales for a landed-cost quotation to your port of destination.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bare Fiber & Drone Spool Sourcing

Q1. Do you manufacture the bare fiber yourselves, or distribute it?

FIBCONET is an authorized distributor for YOFC, ZTT, Hengtong and Fiberhome bare optical fiber. Our own in-house manufacturing focuses on optical cables, PLC splitters and drone fiber spools. This model gives our buyers branded fiber quality with the pricing advantage of consolidated stock.

Q2. What is the minimum order quantity?

There is no strict MOQ for bare fiber — we sell by the roll (kawirikawiri 50.4 km) so buyers can test small first. For drone spools, standard configurations start at 10 mayunitsi; non-standard custom samples require 10 units minimum.

Q3. What reel lengths are available and how are they priced?

Standard reel length is 50.4 km. Custom reels of 40.8 km, 60.4 km ndi 100 km are also available. If your operation can accept non-standard reel lengths of 20–40 km, we can offer a more cost-efficient stock structure — typically mpaka 20% below standard-reel pricing.

Q4. What is your monthly capacity for spot supply?

For spot orders across mainstream single-mode grades, we can release approximately 100,000 cores every two weeks. G.654.E output reaches around 100,000 km per month. Annual contracts above one million cores are welcome; futures pricing follows brand-linked adjustments.

Q5. Do you provide test reports and inspection support?

Every reel ships with an OTDR report and attenuation test. Factory inspection videos can be produced per batch on request. Our Ningbo warehouse also accepts on-site buyer inspection at any time.

Q6. Can you supply samples for evaluation?

Inde. We can provide a 1 km sample for lab qualification. For real production evaluation we recommend purchasing one full 50.4 km reel — this simplifies shipping and reflects true production quality.

Q7. Which drone spool should I choose — internal-winding or external-winding?

Sankha internal-winding for long-range missions above 30 km, aggressive flight profiles, or when fiber-break tolerance is critical. Sankha external-winding for high-volume bulk deployment at short range and low speed, or when budget is the priority. For racing / FPV pass-through applications, ndi Kevlar-reinforced version supports peak payout up to 170 km / h.

Q8. Do you offer DDP shipping to Europe?

Inde. We have extensive DDP experience to Poland, Bulgaria, Germany and other EU destinations. Please advise your final delivery address and drone-application context so we can quote landed cost including any applicable duties.

Q9. What is the service life of the bare fiber?

For data centre and FTTx installations, service life reaches 20–30 years under normal operating conditions.

Q10. Do you also supply fiber production equipment such as preforms and drawing towers?

Inde. Beyond finished fiber, we can arrange optical fiber preforms and drawing tower equipment through our upstream partners. Please share your production capacity target and technical requirements; our engineering team will scope a solution.
