Development Story of the Special-Shaped Wire for Optical Fiber Protection in Submarine Cables
[Published in the Industrial Economic Newspaper] Introducing the development story of the specially shaped wire for protecting optical fibers used in submarine cables.
An article about our "Optical Fiber Protection Specialty Wire for Undersea Cables" has been published in the Industrial Economic Newspaper! In the midst of the recession known as "Iron Cold" in 1984, when our company was still called "Naniwa Seikui," we received an order from a steel trading company in Tokyo requesting, "Please make a fan-shaped specialty wire by splitting a pipe into three vertically." A few days later, President Murao was surprised when he saw the drawings that arrived. It was the first order for a fan-shaped iron wire, and on top of that, they requested a tolerance of within plus or minus five thousandths of a millimeter. At that time in the industry, a tolerance of about one-tenth of a millimeter was the norm, and they were demanding an unprecedented level of precision, with a length of 1000 meters as well. The delivery date was specified for just two weeks later. * The full text is available at the link below. * For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
