Why have patch cords and splitters become frequently imported products in international trade?

Patch Cords and Splitters are essential connection tools in fiber optic information transport and are frequently imported telecommunications products in many countries. Let's take Russia as an example for the Russian-speaking market.

Russia, as a major country, primarily hosts manufacturing factories, and due to the lower cost of metals locally compared to China, metal products are mostly sourced domestically. However, patch cords and splitter products are commonly imported.

Specifically, products like the 14/18/1*16 0.9mm G657A1 PLC splitter are highly covered and widely accepted in the telecommunications industry. As for patch cords, the SC/UPC-SC/UPC Single Mode Simplex 3.0mm G652D 1m is the primary product. In Russia, where cost-effectiveness is a priority, splitters without connectors are commonly purchased as they enhance the product's cost-effectiveness compared to fully assembled splitters.

Of course, our factory also offers different product solutions for price-sensitive markets. For example, in patch cords and splitters, we provide options regarding the ferrule component. As is well known, the triple-ring ferrule can reduce insertion loss and achieve high return loss. It minimizes fiber end-face movement during fiber optic connection, thus improving signal transmission stability. However, since this material is often used in high-demand networks, it comes with a higher cost, making it less advantageous in price-sensitive markets. Therefore, we have introduced an improved material option, a non-triple-ring ferrule that still meets the 0.3dB insertion loss standard, suitable for networks with lower requirements, such as residential or office use. This approach not only meets market demand but also broadens the customer base. All of TUOLIMA’s factory technical specifications and popular products are updated generation after generation, in line with the development trends of the international telecommunications industry.
