  • West Africa Plastic Fiber Optic Channel Factory

    West Africa Plastic Fiber Optic Channel Factory

    Coleman Wires and Cables has commissioned the Africa's largest fibre optic cable factory and the continent's first reinforced plastic production line at Coleman Technical Industries Limited in Sagamu, Ogun State. While submarine communications cables are used to connect countries and continents to the Internet, terrestrial fibre optic cables are used to extend this connectivity to landlocked countries or to urban centers within a country. The Federal Government has inaugurated Coleman Industries Ltd's new fibre optic cable manufacturing factory in Sagamu, Ogun State, with an annual production capacity of over nine million kilometres of fibre and a reinforced plastic production line. Proudly Nigerian-owned, driving local innovation and industrial growth. The factory, built by Coleman Technical Industries Limited in collaboration with an American firm, Fibre Business, EMEA, is expected to boost innovation. Dapo Abiodun, Governor of Ogun State in Nigeria, inaugurated the first fiber optic cable manufacturing plant in West Africa on Thursday, July 14.

  • Challenges of Fiber Optic Cable Maintenance in Winter

    Challenges of Fiber Optic Cable Maintenance in Winter

    Winter brings with it a host of challenges for maintaining fiber optic systems. Cold temperatures, ice, and snow can all impact the performance and reliability of these systems. Understanding these challenges is the first step in ensuring that your fiber optic infrastructure remains operational and. Summary : Winter weather generally has minimal impact on fiber optic cables since they transmit data through light rather than electricity, making them resistant to temperature-related signal loss. Here's how cold weather can. Winter Weather Impacts on CATV and Communication Networks: Severe cold can cause material contraction in cables, leading to signal degradation; ice accumulation adds physical stress, risking breakage; moisture ingress and freezing exacerbate attenuation and corrosion. Fiber networks are installed as economically as possible, typically along rail or road rights-of-way until a bridge is encountered, where cable is routed through carrier pipes on the span.
